Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 018
18:001
Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the
rivers of Ethiopia
18:002
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of
papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy
skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy
and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide
18:003
All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the
earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn
is blown, hear ye
18:004
For thus hath HaShem said unto me: I will hold Me still,
and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a
cloud of dew in the heat of harvest
18:005
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the
bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks,
and the shoots will He take away and lop off
18:006
They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the
mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer
upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them
18:007
In that time shall a present be brought unto HaShem of
hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their
beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the
rivers divide, to the place of the name of HaShem of hosts, the mount Zion
