# Isaiah 18 (New King James Version)
|
|
Proclamation Against Ethiopia
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 18
|
|
###### 1 Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings,
|
|
Which _is_ beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Which sends ambassadors by sea,
|
|
Even in vessels of reed on the waters, _saying,_
|
|
"Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth _of skin,_
|
|
To a people terrible from their beginning onward,
|
|
A nation powerful and treading down,
|
|
Whose land the rivers divide."
|
|
|
|
###### 3 All inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth:
|
|
When he lifts up a banner on the mountains, you see _it;_
|
|
And when he blows a trumpet, you hear _it._
|
|
|
|
###### 4 For so the Lord said to me,
|
|
"I will take My rest,
|
|
And I will look from My dwelling place
|
|
Like clear heat in sunshine,
|
|
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
|
|
|
|
###### 5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect
|
|
And the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
|
|
He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks
|
|
And take away _and_ cut down the branches.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 They will be left together for the mountain birds of prey
|
|
And for the beasts of the earth;
|
|
The birds of prey will summer on them,
|
|
And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 In that time a present will be brought to the Lord of hosts
|
|
From a people tall and smooth _of skin,_
|
|
And from a people terrible from their beginning onward,
|
|
A nation powerful and treading down,
|
|
Whose land the rivers divide--
|
|
To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts,
|
|
To Mount Zion.
