Isaiah 18:6-7
New International Version
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(A)
and to the wild animals;(B)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
7 At that time gifts(C) will be brought to the Lord Almighty
from a people tall and smooth-skinned,(D)
from a people feared(E) far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers(F)—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.(G)
Isaiah 18:6-7
New King James Version
6 They will be left together for the mountain birds of prey
And for the beasts of the earth;
The birds of prey will summer on them,
And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
7 In that time (A)a present will be brought to the Lord of hosts
[a]From a people tall and smooth of skin,
And from a people terrible from their beginning onward,
A nation powerful and treading down,
Whose land the rivers divide—
To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts,
To Mount Zion.
