Isaiah 18

18:1Woe, O land of boats of wings beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.

18:2The one sending treaties and Bibline papyrus letters by the sea upon the water; for messengers of light shall go to an elevated nation, and a strange people, and ill-tempered. Who is it beyond, a nation unhoped for, and the rivers of all the land being trampled now?

18:3As a place being inhabited it shall be inhabited; their place as a signal flag should be lifted up from a mountain; as an audible trumpet sound.

18:4Because thus said the lord to me; Safety will be in my city, as the light of sweltering heat at midday, and it will be as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest.

18:5Before the harvest, whenever the flower should be completely formed, and the unripe grape should blossom a flower being sour, that he shall remove the small grape-clusters with the pruning sickles; and the small vine branches he shall remove and shall cut off.

18:6And he shall leave them behind together for the winged creatures of the heaven, and for the wild beasts of the earth. And the winged creatures of the heaven shall be brought together upon them; and all the wild beasts of the earth shall come upon her.

18:7In that time gifts shall be offered to the lord of Hosts from a people being afflicted and being plucked, and from a people great from the present and into the eon of time; a nation hoping and being trampled, which is in a part of the river of his place, to the place where the name of the lord of Hosts is -- in the holy mountain.
