Isaiah 27:6

Israel
New life and rebirthIsrael and the nations

4 I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.

5 Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”

In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.

7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?

8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
