Isaiah 18

1Woe to the land of the rustling of wings, which is along the rivers of Cush; 2who send ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters. 3All you inhabitants of the world and you who live on the earth, 4This is what Yahweh said to me, “I will quietly observe from my home, 5Before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower is ripening into a grape, 6They will be left together for the birds of the mountains and for the animals of the earth.
