Isaiah 18 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Which sends ^H7971 envoys ^H6735 by the sea ^H3220,

Even in papyrus ^H1573 vessels ^H3627 on the surface ^H6440 of the waters ^H4325.

Go ^H1980, swift ^H7031 messengers ^H4397, to a nation ^H1471 [fn]tall ^H4900 and smooth ^H4803,

To a people ^H5971 feared ^H3372 [fn]far ^H4480 H1931 and wide ^H1973,

A powerful ^H6978 and oppressive ^H4001 nation ^H1471

Whose ^H834 land ^H776 the rivers ^H5104 divide ^H958.

All ^H3605 you inhabitants ^H3427 of the world ^H8398 and dwellers ^H7931 on earth ^H776,

As soon as a standard ^H5251 is raised ^H5375 on the mountains ^H2022, you will see ^H7200 it,

And as soon as the trumpet ^H7782 is blown ^H8628, you will hear ^H8085 it.

For thus ^H3541 Yahweh ^H3068 has told ^H559 me,

“I will look ^H5027 [fn]from My dwelling ^H4349 place ^H4349 quietly ^H8252

Like dazzling ^H6703 heat ^H2527 in the [fn]sunshine ^H216,

Like a cloud ^H5645 of dew ^H2919 in the heat ^H2527 of harvest ^H7105.”

For before ^H6440 the harvest ^H7105, as soon as the bud ^H6525 [fn]blossoms ^H8552

And the flower ^H5328 becomes ^H1961 a ripening ^H1580 grape ^H1155,

Then He will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 the sprigs ^H2150 with pruning ^H4211 knives ^H4211

And remove ^H5493 and cut ^H8456 away ^H8456 the spreading ^H5189 branches ^H5189.

They will be left ^H5800 together ^H3162 for mountain ^H2022 birds ^H5861 of ^H5861 prey ^H5861,

And for the beasts ^H929 of the earth ^H776;

And the birds ^H5861 of ^H5861 prey ^H5861 will spend ^H6972 the ^H6972 summer ^H6972 feeding on them,

And all ^H3605 the beasts ^H929 of the earth ^H776 will spend ^H2778 harvest ^H2778 time ^H2778 on them.

At that time ^H6256 a gift ^H7862 of ^H7862 homage ^H7862 will be brought ^H2986 to Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635

[fn]From a people ^H5971 [fn]tall ^H4900 and smooth ^H4803,

Even from a people ^H5971 feared ^H3372 [fn]far ^H4480 H1931 and wide ^H1973,

A powerful ^H6978 and oppressive ^H4001 nation ^H1471,

Whose ^H834 land ^H776 the rivers ^H5104 divide ^H958—

To the place ^H4725 of the name ^H8034 of Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, even Mount ^H2022 Zion ^H6726.
