Ah,
the land of
the
rustling
of
wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia ;
Woe
to
the land shadowing
with
wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia :
that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus
upon the waters, `
saying '
, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall
and smooth
, to a people terrible from their beginning onward,
a nation that
meteth
out and treadeth
down, whose land the rivers divide
!
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes
upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered
and peeled
, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto;
a nation meted
out and trodden
down, whose land the rivers have
spoiled
!
All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye
dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is
lifted
up
on the mountains ,
see
ye
; and when the
trumpet is
blown
, hear ye.
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see
ye,
when he
lifteth
up
an ensign on the mountains; and when he
bloweth
a
trumpet, hear ye.
For thus
hath
Jehovah
said unto me, I will be
still
, and I will behold
in my dwelling -
place ,
like clear heat in
sunshine
, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
For so
the
LORD
said unto me, I will take
my
rest
, and I will consider
in my dwelling place like a
clear heat upon
herbs
, and
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
For before
the harvest, when the blossom
is over
, and the flower
becometh
a
ripening
grape, he will
cut off the sprigs with pruning -
hooks, and the
spreading
branches
will
he
take away `
and '
cut down.
For afore
the harvest, when the bud
is perfect
, and the sour
grape is
ripening
in
the
flower
, he shall
both
cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the
branches
.
They shall be left together unto the ravenous
birds
of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth ;
and the ravenous
birds
shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
They shall be left together unto the fowls
of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth :
and the fowls
shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
In that time shall a
present be brought unto Jehovah
of hosts `from'
a people tall
and smooth
, even
from a people terrible from their beginning onward,
a nation that
meteth
out and treadeth
down
, whose land the rivers divide
, to the place of the name of Jehovah
of hosts, the mount Zion.
In that time shall the
present be brought unto the
LORD
of hosts of
a people scattered
and peeled
, and
from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto;
a nation meted
out and trodden
under
foot
, whose land the rivers have
spoiled
, to the place of the name of the
LORD
of hosts, the mount Zion.
