Isaiah 18:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 For, the Lord said to me:
I will quietly look out from My place,
like shimmering heat in sunshine,
like a rain cloud in harvest heat.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over
and the blossom becomes a ripening grape,
He will cut off the shoots with a pruning knife,
and tear away and remove the branches.
6 They will all be left for the birds of prey on the hills
and for the wild animals of the land.
The birds will spend the summer on them,
and all the animals, the winter on them.
Isaiah 18:4-6
New International Version
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet(A) and will look on from my dwelling place,(B)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(C)
like a cloud of dew(D) in the heat of harvest.”
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(E) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(F)
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(G)
and to the wild animals;(H)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
