יְהוָה בְּחַרְבּוֹ הַקָּשָׁה וְהַגְּדוֹלָה וְהַחֲזָקָה, עַל לִוְיָתָן נָחָשׁ בָּרִחַ, וְעַל לִוְיָתָן, נָחָשׁ עֲקַלָּתוֹן; וְהָרַג אֶת-הַתַּנִּין, אֲשֶׁר בַּיָּם. {ס}1 In that day the LORD with His sore and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent; and He will slay the dragon that is in the sea. {S}ב בַּיּוֹם, הַהוּא, כֶּרֶם חֶמֶר, עַנּוּ-לָהּ.2 In that day sing ye of her: 'A vineyard of foaming wine!'ג אֲנִי יְהוָה נֹצְרָהּ, לִרְגָעִים אַשְׁקֶנָּה: פֶּן יִפְקֹד עָלֶיהָ, לַיְלָה וָיוֹם אֶצֳּרֶנָּה.3 I the LORD do guard it, I water it every moment; lest Mine anger visit it, I guard it night and day.ד חֵמָה, אֵין לִי: מִי-יִתְּנֵנִי שָׁמִיר שַׁיִת, בַּמִּלְחָמָה--אֶפְשְׂעָה בָהּ, אֲצִיתֶנָּה יָּחַד.4 Fury is not in Me; would that I were as the briers and thorns in flame! I would with one step burn it altogether.ה אוֹ יַחֲזֵק בְּמָעוּזִּי, יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם לִי; שָׁלוֹם, יַעֲשֶׂה-לִּי.5 Or else let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; yea, let him make peace with Me.ו הַבָּאִים יַשְׁרֵשׁ יַעֲקֹב, יָצִיץ וּפָרַח יִשְׂרָאֵל; וּמָלְאוּ פְנֵי-תֵבֵל, תְּנוּבָה. {פ}6 In days to come shall Jacob take root, Israel shall blossom and bud; and the face of the world shall be filled with fruitage. {P}ז הַכְּמַכַּת מַכֵּהוּ, הִכָּהוּ: אִם-כְּהֶרֶג הֲרֻגָיו, הֹרָג.7 Hath He smitten him as He smote those that smote him? Or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by Him?ח בְּסַאסְּאָה, בְּשַׁלְחָהּ תְּרִיבֶנָּה; הָגָה בְּרוּחוֹ הַקָּשָׁה, בְּיוֹם קָדִים.8 In full measure, when Thou sendest her away, Thou dost contend with her; He hath removed her with His rough blast in the day of the east wind.ט לָכֵן, בְּזֹאת יְכֻפַּר עֲוֺן-יַעֲקֹב, וְזֶה, כָּל-פְּרִי הָסִר חַטָּאתוֹ: בְּשׂוּמוֹ כָּל-אַבְנֵי מִזְבֵּחַ, כְּאַבְנֵי-גִר מְנֻפָּצוֹת, לֹא-יָקֻמוּ אֲשֵׁרִים, וְחַמָּנִים.9 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be expiated, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.י כִּי עִיר בְּצוּרָה, בָּדָד, נָוֶה, מְשֻׁלָּח וְנֶעֱזָב כַּמִּדְבָּר; שָׁם יִרְעֶה עֵגֶל וְשָׁם יִרְבָּץ, וְכִלָּה סְעִפֶיהָ.10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken, like the wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.יא בִּיבֹשׁ קְצִירָהּ, תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה, נָשִׁים, בָּאוֹת מְאִירוֹת אוֹתָהּ: כִּי לֹא עַם-בִּינוֹת, הוּא--עַל-כֵּן לֹא-יְרַחֲמֶנּוּ עֹשֵׂהוּ, וְיֹצְרוֹ לֹא יְחֻנֶּנּוּ. {פ}11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto them. {P}יב וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יַחְבֹּט יְהוָה מִשִּׁבֹּלֶת הַנָּהָר עַד-נַחַל מִצְרָיִם; וְאַתֶּם תְּלֻקְּטוּ לְאַחַד אֶחָד, בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל. {פ}12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will beat off [His fruit] from the flood of the River unto the Brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. {P}יג וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִתָּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל, וּבָאוּ הָאֹבְדִים בְּאֶרֶץ אַשּׁוּר, וְהַנִּדָּחִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם; וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוָה בְּהַר הַקֹּדֶשׁ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם. {פ}13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great horn shall be blown; and they shall come that were lost in the land of Assyria, and they that were dispersed in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. {P}
 
You don't seriously expect anyone to wade through all of that, do you?

How about a brief section of Scripture, in English, with a few comments or questions to focus the discussion.

going from Hebrew to English back and forth like that gives me brain damage.
 
Actually, I did. Anyways, I'm posting the chapter without the other stuff. So the chapter has a lot of stuff I'm curious about but I suppose I'm wondering if the Leviathan is a literal creature? It's mentioned in other parts of The Bible.

Isaiah 27

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.


2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.


3 I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.


4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.


5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.


6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.


7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?


8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.


9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.


10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.


11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.


12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.


13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
