Isaiah 18:2-4
Modern English Version
2 which sends ambassadors by the sea,
even in vessels of reeds on the waters, saying,
“Go, swift messengers,
to a nation tall and smooth,
to a people feared far and wide,
a nation strong and oppressive,
whose land the rivers have divided.”
3 All you inhabitants of the world,
and dwellers on the earth:
When he lifts up a banner on the mountains,
you will see it;
and when he blows a trumpet,
you will hear it.
4 For so the Lord said to me:
I will look from My dwelling place quietly,
like dazzling heat in the sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Isaiah 18:2-4
New International Version
Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,(C)
to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive(D) nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers.(E)
3 All you people of the world,(F)
you who live on the earth,
when a banner(G) is raised on the mountains,
you will see it,
and when a trumpet(H) sounds,
you will hear it.
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet(I) and will look on from my dwelling place,(J)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(K)
like a cloud of dew(L) in the heat of harvest.”
