Isaiah 18

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Woe to the land which makes shade with <em>her</em> wings, which <em>is</em> beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

2 He who sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, <em>saying</em>, Go, ye swift messengers, to the people scattered and peeled, to the people full of fears from their beginning, and until now, <em>a</em> people tired of waiting and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

3 All ye inhabitants of the world and neighbours of the land, when he lifts up a banner <em>as an example</em> on the mountains, ye shall see it; and when he blows the shofar, ye shall hear it.

4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will look forth from my dwelling place like a clear sun after the rain <em>and</em> like a cloud filled with dew in the heat of the harvest.

5 For before the harvest, when the fruit is perfect, and after the flower is past and the fruit is mature, then he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away <em>and</em> cut down the branches.

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.

7 In that time <em>the</em> present shall be brought unto the LORD of the hosts, the people scattered and peeled, the people full of fears from their beginning and until now, <em>a</em> people tired of waiting and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of the hosts, to the Mount Zion.

New International Version NIV

1 Woe to the land of whirring wingsalong the rivers of Cush,

2 which sends envoys by sea in papyrus boats over the water. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.

3 All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it.

4 This is what the LORD says to me: “I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives, and cut down and take away the spreading branches.

6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey and to the wild animals; the birds will feed on them all summer, the wild animals all winter.

7 At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers— the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD Almighty.
