Book of Isaiah, Chapter 18
Chapter 18 of Isaiah
which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
in vessels of papyrus upon the waters!
Go, you swift messengers,
to a nation, tall and smooth,
to a people feared near and far,
a nation mighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide.
you who dwell on the earth,
when a signal is raised on the mountains, look!
When a trumpet is blown, hear!
“I will quietly look from my dwelling
like clear heat in sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off the shoots with pruning hooks,
and the spreading branches he will hew away.
to the birds of prey of the mountains
and to the beasts of the earth.
And the birds of prey will summer upon them,
and all the beasts of the earth will winter upon them,
¶ from a people tall and smooth,
from a people feared near and far,
a nation mighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide,
¶ to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the LORD of hosts.Read Isaiah Chapter 18 in other Bible versions:
