Isaiah 18:5-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 Before the harvest, when blossoms are gone
and grapes are ripening from blossoms,
he will cut off the shoots with pruning shears
and chop off the spreading branches.
6 They will be left for the birds of prey on the mountains
and the wild animals.
The birds of prey will feed on them in the summer,
and all the wild animals on earth
will feed on them in the winter.
7 At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord of Armies
from a tall and smooth-skinned people,
a people ⌞who are⌟ feared far and near,
a strong and aggressive nation,
whose land is divided by rivers.
They will be brought to Mount Zion,
the place where the name of the Lord of Armies is.
Isaiah 18:5-7
New International Version
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(A) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(B)
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(C)
and to the wild animals;(D)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
7 At that time gifts(E) will be brought to the Lord Almighty
from a people tall and smooth-skinned,(F)
from a people feared(G) far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers(H)—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.(I)
