* Ho ! thou land of the buzzing of wings , Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia : * That sendeth by the sea , ambassadors Even in vessels of paper-reed , upon the face of the waters , Go ye swift messengers Unto a nation drawn out and polished , Unto a people terrible from their beginning and onwards , A nation most mighty and subduing , Whose land rivers have cut through . * All ye inhabitants of the world And ye , that dwell in the earth , When there is lifted up an ensign on the mountains , Ye shall look , And when there is blown a horn , Ye shall hearken . * For , thus , said Yahweh unto me , I must be quiet I must look on in my fixed place of abode , Like a bright heat on the light , Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest . * For before harvest , when the bud is perfect , And , the blossom , becometh a ripening grape , Then will one cut down the twigs with pruning-hooks , And the tendrils , will he remove cast down : * They shall be left together . To the ravenous birds , of the mountains , And to the beast of the earth , Then shall the ravenous bird , summer upon them , And , every beast of the earth , upon them , shall winter . * In that time , shall there be borne along . As a present unto Yahweh of hosts A people drawn out and polished , Even from a people terrible from their beginning and onwards , nation most mighty and subduing Whose land rivers , have cut through , Unto the place of the Name of Yahweh of hosts . Mount Zion .
