Isaiah 18:6-7
International Standard Version
6 And[a] they will all be left
for birds of prey that live on the mountains[b]
and for wild animals.[c]
Birds of prey will pass the summer feeding on them,
and all the wild animals[d] will pass the winter feeding[e] on them.
7 At that time tribute will be brought to the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
from[f] a tall and smooth-skinned people,
from a people feared far and wide,
a nation that metes out[g] punishment[h] and oppresses,
whose land the rivers divide,
to Mount Zion,
the place that bears[i] the name of the Lord.[j]
