Isaiah 18

1 God in care of his people will destroy the Ethiopians. 7 An accesse thereby shall grow vnto the Church.

XVIII ¶ Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the riuers of Ethiopia:

2 That sendeth ambassadours by the sea, euen in vessels of bulrushes vpon the waters, saying; Goe yee swift messengers to a nation [fn]scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto, [fn]a nation meted out and troden downe; [fn]whose land the riuers haue spoiled.

3 All yee inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see yee, when hee lifteth vp an ensigne on the mountaines; and when he bloweth a trumpet, heare yee.

4 For so the LORD sayd vnto me: I will take my rest, and [fn]I will consider in my dwelling place like a cleare heate [fn]vpon herbes, and like a cloud of dew in the heate of haruest.

5 For afore the haruest when the bud is perfect, and the sowre grape is ripening in the flowre; hee shall both cut off the sprigges with pruning hookes, and take away and cut downe the branches.

6 They shalbe left together vnto the foules of the mountaines, and to the beasts of the earth: and the foules shall summer vpon them, and all the beastes of the earth shall winter vpon them.

7 ¶ In that time shall the present be brought vnto the LORD of hostes, of a people [fn]scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and troden vnder foote, whose land the riuers haue spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hostes, the mount Zion.

18:2 Or, outspread and polished.

18:4 Or, after raine.

18:7 Or, outspread and polished. &c.
