Isaiah 18
1Oy to the Eretz Tziltzal Kenafayim (Land of Whirring Wings, i.e., Ethiopia), 1 which is beyond the rivers of Kush; 1
2That sendeth envoys by the yam, 1 even in vessels of gomeh (papyrus) upon the mayim, saying, 1 Go, ye swift malachim, to a Goy (nation) tall and smooth of skin, 1 to an Am Norah far away on the other side; 1 a Goy powerful and treading down, 1 whose land the neharim (rivers) divide! 1
3All ye inhabitants of the Tevel, 1 and dwellers of Eretz, 1 when a nes (battle flag) is lifted up on the harim, look; 1 and when a shofar is blown, listen! 1
4For so Hashem said unto me, 1 I will remain quiet in My rest, 1 and I will consider from My dwelling place like shimmering chom (heat) in the ohr, 1 and like a cloud of tal (dew) in the chom katzir (heat of harvest). 1
5For before katzir (harvest), when the bud is perfect, 1 and the boser (sour grape, ripening grape) is ripening in the flower, 1 He shall both cut off the zalzallim (shoots) with pruning hooks, 1 and take away and cut down the netishot (tendrils, branches). 1
6They shall be left together 1 unto the birds of prey of the harim, 1 and to the behemat ha'aretz; 1 and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, 1 and all the behemat ha'aretz shall winter upon them. 1
7In that time shall there be offered 1 in homage to Hashem Tzva'os 1 an Am (people) tall and smooth of skin, 1 an Am Norah far away on the other side; 1 a Goy powerful and treading down under foot, 1 whose land the neharim (rivers) divide, 1 even at the makom (place) of the Shem Hashem Tzva'os, 1 Har Tziyon.
