Isaiah 18:3-5
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 18:3-5
New International Reader's Version
3 Pay attention, all you people of the world!
Listen, all you who live on earth!
Banners will be lifted up on the mountains.
And you will see them.
Trumpets will be blown.
And you will hear them.
4 The Lord says to me,
“I will look down from heaven, where I live.
I will be as quiet as summer heat in the sunshine.
I will be as quiet as a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
5 A farmer cuts off new growth with pruning knives.
He cuts down spreading branches and takes them away.
He does it before the grapes are harvested.
That’s when the blooms are gone and the grapes are ripe.
In the same way, the Lord will cut off the nations
that are gathered against his people.

Isaiah 18:3-5
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)
