Isaiah 18:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is complete[a]
and a blossom becomes ripening fruit,
and one cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,
and one removes, tears away the tendrils.
6 They shall all be left[b] for birds[c] of prey of the mountains
and for the animals[d] of the earth.
And the birds[e] of prey will pass the summer on it,
and every animal of the earth will winter on it.
7 At that time, a gift[f] will be brought to Yahweh of hosts
from a tall[g] and smooth[h] people,
and from a people feared near and far,
a mighty, mighty and trampling nation,
whose land the rivers divide,
to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts,
the mountain of Zion.
