Isaiah 18:4-5

4For this is what the Lord has told me: “I will quietly look 1from My 2dwelling place Like dazzling heat in the 34sunshine, Like a cloud of 5dew in the heat of harvest.”5For 6before the harvest, as soon as the bud 7blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, He will cut off the shoots with pruning knives, And remove and tear away the spreading branches.
