Isaiah, Chapter 18

Alas, oh land of whirring wings
Which lies beyond the rivers of^aCush,

Which sends envoys by the sea,
Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation^btall and smooth,
To a people feared^cfar and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.

All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth,
As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it,
And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.

⁴ For thus the LORD has told me,“I will look^dfrom My dwelling place quietly
Like dazzling heat in the^esunshine,
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

⁵For before the harvest, as soon as the bud^fblossoms
And the flower becomes a ripening grape,
Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives
And remove and cut away the spreading branches.

⁶They will be left together for mountain birds of prey,
And for the beasts of the earth;
And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them,
And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.

⁷At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts
^gFrom a people^htall and smooth,
Even from a people fearedⁱfar and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation,
Whose land the rivers divide—
To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.
