Isaiah 27:4-8

“I have no wrath. Should anyone give Me briars and thorns in battle, I would step on them, I would set them all on fire. “Or let him (Israel) cling to My strength and rely on My protection [My stronghold], Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me.” In the generations to come Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and sprout, And they will fill the surface of the world with fruit. [Hos 14:1-6; Rom 11:12] ¶Like the striking by Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain? You contended with them by exile, by driving them away [from Canaan]; He has expelled them with His fierce wind on the day of the east wind.
