Isaiah
Chapter 18
1
Woe to the land shadowing with wings,
which
is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.
2
That sends ambassadors by the sea,
even
in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying,
"Go,
you swift messengers,
to
a nation scattered and peeled,
to
a people terrible from their beginning hitherto.
A
nation meted out and trodden down,
whose
land the rivers have spoiled
3
All you inhabitants of the world,
and
dwellers on the earth, see you,
when
he lifts up an ensign on the mountains;
and
when he blows a trumpet, hear you."
4
For so Jehovah/God 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."
5
For afore 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.
6
They shall be left together
unto
the fowls of the mountains,
and
to the animals/beasts of the earth.
And
the fowls shall summer upon them,
and
all the animals/beasts of the earth
shall
winter upon them.
7
In that time
shall
the present be brought
unto
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
of
a people scattered and peeled,
and
from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto.
A
nation meted out and trodden under foot,
whose
land the rivers have spoiled,
to
the place of the name
of
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
the
mount Zion.
