a no ser que él confíe en mi protección, que haga la paz conmigo, que conmigo haga la paz.
O forzar alguien mi fortaleza? Haga conmigo paz, s, haga paz conmigo.
O quin forzar mi fortaleza? Haga conmigo paz, s, haga paz conmigo.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or let him take hold of my strength,.... Not on the law, as the Targum and Kimchi; but on Christ, as Jerom rightly interprets it; who is the strength and power of God, the man of his right hand he has made strong for himself; a strong tower, as the word signifies, a rock of defence, to whom saints may betake themselves, and be safe; in him they have righteousness and strength; in him is everlasting strength. The sense is, let the people of God, any and everyone of them, when afflicted and chastised by him particularly, and are ready to conclude that he is wroth with them, and is dealing with them in hot displeasure; let such look to Christ, and lay hold, and a strong hold, on him by faith, which will be greatly to their advantage and support. The Targum and Jarchi render או, translated "or", by "if"; and then the words are to be read thus, "if he will", or "should, take hold of my strength", or fortress s; or, as some render them, "O that he would t", c. it follows,
[that] he may make peace with me, [and] he shall make peace with me; or rather, "he shall make peace with me, peace shall he make with me". The phrase is doubled for the certainty of it; and the meaning is, not that the believer who lays hold by faith on Christ, Jehovah's strength, shall make peace with him; which is not in the power of any person to do, no, not the believer by his faith, repentance, or good works; but Christ the power of God, on whom he lays hold, he shall make peace, as he has, by the blood of his cross, and as the only peacemaker; and hereby the believer may see himself reconciled to God, and at peace with him; and therefore may comfortably conclude, under every providence, that there is no fury in God towards him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Or let him - The Hebrew word rendered here or (או 'ô) means “unless;” and the sense is, the enemies of the Jewish people shall be completely destroyed as briers are by fire, “unless” they flee to God for a refuge.
Take hold of my strength - That is, let the enemy take hold of me to become reconciled to me. The figure here is taken probably from the act of fleeing to take hold of the horns of the altar for refuge when one was pursued (compare 1 Kings 1:50; 1 Kings 2:28).
That he may make peace with me - With me as the guardian of the vineyard. If this were done they would be safe.
And he shall make peace with me - That is, even the enemy of me and of my vineyard “may” be permitted to make peace with me. Learn,
(1) That God is willing to be reconciled to his enemies.
(2) That peace must be obtained by seeking his protection; by submitting to him, and laying hold of his strength.
(3) That if this is not done, his enemies must be inevitably destroyed.
(4) He will defend his people, and no weapon that is formed against them shall prosper.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 27:5. Or - "Ah"] For או o I read אוי oi, as it was at first in a MS. The י yod was easily lost, being followed by another י yod.
