Isaiah:18

* Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings , Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia , * 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 ." * 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 . * 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 ." * 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 . * 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 . * 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 .
