Isaiah 27:1

On that day,
the Lord (Yahweh) will punish Leviathan, the swift (fleeting, slippery) serpent,
and Leviathan, the writhing serpent,
and kill the dragon that is in the sea.
[The root word for Leviathan means to twist and turn, and it seems to describe a sea monster with reptilian features, see Ps. 74:14; 104:26; Job 40:20. Texts found in the city of Ugarit, along the northern Syrian coast, mention the sea monster Lotan. It is a mythical ancient monster that represents chaos and evil. Isaiah uses these mythological images when he describes God's ultimate victory over evil. One day, the Lord will punish Leviathan, the serpent and the dragon in the sea. The Psalms also mention Leviathan and how God will break all his heads, see Ps. 74:14; 104:26. The last book of the Bible also describes a sea monster with seven heads that is clearly identified with the ancient serpent—Satan, see Rev 12:3; 13:1–2. In the Book of Job, Leviathan is described in great detail, see Job 40:20–41:25.]
