Isaiah 18:2-4

New Century Version

²That land sends messengers across the sea;
they go on the water in boats made of reeds.

Go, quick messengers,
    to a people who are tall and smooth-skinned,
    who are feared everywhere.
They are a powerful nation that defeats other nations.
    Their land is divided by rivers.

³All you people of the world, look!
    Everyone who lives in the world, look!
You will see a banner raised on a mountain.
    You will hear a trumpet sound.
⁴The Lord said to me,
    “I will quietly watch from where I live,
like heat in the sunshine,
    like the dew in the heat of harvest time.”
