이사야 18장 NASB
- 1 Alas oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush
- 2 Which sends envoys by the sea Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go swift messengers to a nation tall and smooth To a people feared far and wide A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.
- 3 All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains you will see it And as soon as the trumpet is blown you will hear it.
- 4 For thus the LORD has told me "I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
- 5 For before the harvest as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove and cut away the spreading branches.
- 6 They will be left together for mountain birds of prey And for the beasts of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.
- 7 At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth Even from a people feared far and wide A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide--To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts even Mount Zion.
