Isaiah 18:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 All ye the inhabitants of the world, and dwellers in the earth, shall see when [a]he setteth up a sign in the mountains, and when he bloweth the trumpet, ye shall hear.
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will [b]rest and behold in my tabernacle, as [c]the heat drying up the rain, and as a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the flour is finished, and the fruit is ripening in the flour, then he shall cut down the branches with hooks, and shall take away, and cut off the boughs:

New International Version
3 All you people of the world,(A)
you who live on the earth,
when a banner(B) is raised on the mountains,
you will see it,
and when a trumpet(C) sounds,
you will hear it.
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet(D) and will look on from my dwelling place,(E)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(F)
like a cloud of dew(G) in the heat of harvest.”
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(H) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(I)
