Isaiah 18:4-6

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.6They will be left together for mountain birds 8of prey, And for the animals of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, And all the animals of the earth will spend harvest time on them.
