Yeshayahu 18
Yeshayahu (Book of Isaiah), Chapter 18
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 For thus hath HaShem said unto me: I will hold Me still, and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop off.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 In that time shall a present be brought unto HaShem of hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of HaShem of hosts, the mount Zion.
