Woe, land of whirring wings

Which lies beyond the rivers of [fn]Cush,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:2 -

Which sends messengers by the sea,

Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.

Go, swift messengers, to a nation [fn]tall and smooth,

To a people feared [fn]far and wide,

A powerful and oppressive nation

Whose land the rivers divide.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:3 -

All you who inhabit the world, and live on earth,

As soon as a flag is raised on the mountains, you will see it,

And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:4 -

For this is what the LORD has told me:

“I will quietly look [fn]from My dwelling place

Like dazzling heat in the [fn]sunshine,

Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:5 -

For before the harvest, as soon as the bud [fn]blossoms

And the flower becomes a ripening grape,

He will cut off the shoots with pruning knives,

And remove and tear away the spreading branches.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:6 -

They will be left together for mountain birds of prey,

And for the animals of the earth;

And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them,

And all the animals of the earth will spend harvest time on them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:7 -

At that time a gift of tribute will be brought to the LORD of armies

[fn]From a people [fn]tall and smooth,

From a people feared [fn]far and wide,

A powerful and oppressive nation,

Whose land the rivers divide

To the place of the name of the LORD of armies, to Mount Zion.
