Isaiah 26:20-27:1

International Children’s Bible

Judgment: Reward or Punishment

²⁰My people, go into your rooms.
    Shut your doors behind you.
Hide in your rooms for a short time.
    Hide until God’s anger is finished.
²¹The Lord will leave his place.
    He will punish the people of the world for their sins.
The earth will show the blood of the people who have been killed.
    It will not cover the dead any longer.

27 At that time the Lord will judge Leviathan, the gliding snake.
He will punish Leviathan, the coiled snake.
The Lord will use his great sword,
his hard and powerful sword.
He will kill the monster in the sea.
