The Book of Isaiah 18

18 Woe, land of the rustling of wings,

which is across the rivers of Cush;

2 who send ambassadors by the sea

and in vessels of papyrus on the face of the waters.

Go, you swift messengers,

to a nation tall and smooth,

to a people feared from afar,

a nation very strong and trampling down,

whose land the rivers divide.

3 All inhabitants of the world and dwellers of the earth,

when a signal is lifted up on the mountains, look,

and when the trumpet is blown, listen.

4 For thus Yahweh said to me,

“I shall be still and observe in my dwelling,

like the dazzling heat in light,

like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest."

5 For before the face of the harvest, when the blossoming is over,

and the flower is ripening into a grape,

then he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks,

and cut down, take away the spreading branches.

6 They will be left together for the birds of the mountains

and for the animals of the earth.

and the birds will summer on them,

and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.”

7 At that time tribute will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a people tall and smooth, and a people feared from afar, a nation very strong and trampling down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, Mount Zion.
