Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Woe
to
the
land of
whirring
wings, along
the rivers of Cush,
Ho,
land shadowed
`with'
wings, That
`is'
beyond
the rivers of Cush,
which
sends
couriers
by sea, in
papyrus
vessels
on the waters .
Go, swift
messengers, to
a people
tall
and smooth-skinned
, to
a people widely
feared
, to
a powerful
nation of
strange
speech
, whose land is
divided
by
rivers
.
That
is
sending
by sea ambassadors
, Even
with
implements
of
reed
on the face
of
the
waters ,
--
Go, ye
light
messengers, Unto
a nation
drawn
out
and peeled
, Unto
a people fearful
from
its
beginning
and
onwards
, A nation meeting
out
by
line
, and
treading
down,
Whose land floods
have
spoiled
.
All you
people
of the world and dwellers of the
earth, when
a
banner
is
raised
on
the mountains
, you
will
see
it;
when
a ram’s
horn
sounds,
you
will
hear it
.
All ye
inhabitants
of the world ,
And ye
dwellers of earth, At
the lifting
up
of
an
ensign
on
hills
ye
look
, And
at
the
blowing
of
a trumpet
ye
hear.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
has
told
me :
“
I will
quietly
look on from
My dwelling
place, like
shimmering
heat in
the
sunshine,
like
a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. ”
For thus
said
Jehovah
unto
me ,
`
I rest,
and
I
look on My settled
place, As
a
clear
heat on
an
herb.
As
a thick
cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
For before the
harvest, when the blossom
is gone
and the flower
becomes
a
ripening
grape
, He
will
cut off
the shoots
with a
pruning knife
and
remove
and discard
the branches.
For before harvest, when the flower
is perfect,
And the blossom
is
producing
unripe
fruit
, Then
hath
`one'
cut the sprigs
with pruning hooks,
And the branches he
hath
turned
aside,
cut
down
.
They will
all
be
left to the mountain
birds
of prey
, and to the beasts
of the land.
The
birds
will
feed
on them in
summer
, and all
the wild
animals
in
winter
.
They are
left together
to the ravenous
fowl
of the
mountains
, And to the beast
of the earth,
And
summered
on them hath
the
ravenous
fowl
, And every
beast
of
the earth
wintereth
on
them
.
At that time gifts
will
be
brought to the
LORD
of Hosts —
from
a people
tall
and smooth-skinned,
from
a people widely
feared,
from a powerful
nation of
strange
speech
, whose land is
divided
by
rivers—
to
Mount
Zion
, the place of the Name of the
LORD
of Hosts .
At that time brought is
a
present
to Jehovah
of Hosts ,
A nation
drawn
out
and peeled.
Even
of
a people fearful
from the
beginning
hitherto,
A nation meting
out
by
line
, and
treading
down,
Whose land floods
have
spoiled
, Unto
the place of the name of Jehovah
of Hosts --
mount
Zion!'
