In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword

 Isaiah 26:1-27:1

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust.

The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth. Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil  and do not regard the majesty of the Lord.

Lord our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone do we honor.

They are now dead, they live no more; their spirits do not rise. You punished them and brought them to ruin; you wiped out all memory of them. You have enlarged the nation, Lord; you have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for yourself; you have extended all the borders of the land.

In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword—  his fierce, great and powerful sword --- Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.

Why?

This world is chaotic and disturbed by wars and evil-doers. The Lord is my salvation. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord is the Rock eternal.

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah, In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword.

But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness. God gives grace to everyone in the world, everyone has to take responsibility to face their choice and the consequence in that day.

How?

Be humble before the Lord and trust in the Lord forever!
