Isaiah:18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Woe to the land shadowing with wings ,
which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia :
*
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea ,
even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters ,
saying ,
Go ,
ye swift messengers ,
to a nation scattered and peeled ,
to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto ;
a nation meted out and trodden down ,
whose land the rivers have spoiled !
*
All ye inhabitants of the world ,
and dwellers on the earth ,
see ye ,
when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains ;
and when he bloweth a trumpet ,
hear ye .
*
For so the LORD said unto me ,
I will take my rest ,
and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs ,
and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest .
*
For afore the harvest ,
when the bud is perfect ,
and the sour grape is ripening in the flower ,
he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks ,
and take away and cut down the branches .
*
They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains ,
and to the beasts of the earth :
and the fowls shall summer upon them ,
and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them .
*
In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled ,
and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto ;
a nation meted out and trodden under foot ,
whose land the rivers have spoiled ,
to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts ,
the mount Zion .
