Isaiah 18:3-5
International Standard Version
3 All you inhabitants of the world,
you who live on the earth,
when a banner is raised on the mountains,
you’ll see it.
When a trumpet sounds,
you’ll hear it!
4 For this is what the Lord told me:
“I will remain quiet and watch in my dwelling place
like dazzling heat in sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat[a] of harvest.”
5 For before the harvest, when the season of[b] budding is over,
and sour grapes ripen into mature grapes,[c]
he cuts off the shoots with pruning knives,
clearing away the spreading branches
as he lops them off.
