In Isaiah 27 we read about Israel, the Lord's vineyard:
2 On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:
3 I, Yahweh, watch over it;
I water it regularly.
I guard it night and day
so that no one disturbs it.
Israel will be a blessing to the whole world:
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root.
Israel will blossom and bloom
and fill the whole world with fruit.
The Lord punished Israel:
8 He punished Israel by sending it away.
He removed it with a fierce blast from the east winds.[b]
9 In this way the wrongdoings of the descendants of Jacob are covered up.
This is the way they will turn from their sins—
when they turn all the altar stones into powdered chalk
and no poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah
or incense altars are left standing.
The Lord will gather Israel again:
13 On that day a ram’s horn will be blown loudly.
Those who are dying in Assyria
and those who are banished to Egypt
will come and worship Yahweh
on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
