Isaiah:18

Seeker Overlay ON

* Woe to the land of whirring wings which lies beyond the rivers of Ethiopia . * It sends messengers by sea in boats made of reeds that skim over the surface of the water . »Go , swift messengers , to a tall and smooth-skinned people , a people who are feared far and near , a strong and aggressive nation , whose land is divided by rivers .« * Look when someone raises a flag on the mountains . Listen when someone blows a ram 's horn , all you inhabitants of the world , you who live on the earth . * Jehovah says this to me : »I will be still and watch from my dwelling place . My presence will be like scorching heat in the sunshine , like heavy dew in the heat of the harvest . * »Before the harvest , when blossoms are gone and grapes are ripening from blossoms , he will cut off the shoots with pruning shears and chop off and take away the spreading branches . * They will all be left for the birds of prey on the mountains and the wild animals . The birds of prey will feed on them in the summer . All the wild animals on earth will feed on them in the winter . * »At that time gifts will be brought to Jehovah of Hosts from a tall and smooth-skinned people , a people who are feared far and near . It will be a strong and aggressive nation , whose land is divided by rivers . They will be brought to Mount Zion , the place where the name of Jehovah of Hosts is .«
