ISAIAH ยท Chapter 18
18:1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers
of Ethiopia:
18:2 That sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes
upon the waters, saying, Go, all of you swift messengers, to a nation scattered
and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning until now; a nation
meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
18:3 All you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see
all of you, when he lifts up an explicit sign on the mountains; and when
he blows a trumpet, hear all of you.
18:4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will
consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a
cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
18:5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour
grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with
pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
18:6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and
to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all
the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
18:7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts
of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their
beginning until now; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land
the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts,
the mount Zion.
