Isaiah 18:2-4
New Living Translation
2 that sends ambassadors
in swift boats down the river.
Go, swift messengers!
Take a message to a tall, smooth-skinned people,
who are feared far and wide
for their conquests and destruction,
and whose land is divided by rivers.
3 All you people of the world,
everyone who lives on the earth—
when I raise my battle flag on the mountain, look!
When I blow the ram’s horn, listen!
4 For the Lord has told me this:
“I will watch quietly from my dwelling place—
as quietly as the heat rises on a summer day,
or as the morning dew forms during the 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.”
