Isaiah 18

1 woe! land: country/planet buzzing wing which from side: beyond to/for river Cush

Woe to you, ye wings of the land of ships, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.

2 [the] to send: depart in/on/with sea envoy and in/on/with article/utensil reed upon face: surface water to go: went messenger swift to(wards) nation to draw and to smooth to(wards) people to fear from he/she/it and further nation might might and subjugation which to divide river land: country/planet his

He sends messengers by the sea, and paper letters on the water: for swift messengers shall go to a lofty nation, and to a strange and harsh people. Who is beyond it? a nation not looked for, and trodden down.

3 all to dwell world and to dwell land: country/planet like/as to lift: raise ensign mountain: mount to see: see and like/as to blow trumpet to hear: hear

Now all the rivers of the land shall be inhabited as an inhabited country; their land shall be as when a signal is raised from a mountain; it shall be audible as the sound of a trumpet.

4 for thus to say LORD to(wards) me (to quiet *Q(k)*) and to look in/on/with foundation my like/as heat dazzling upon light like/as cloud dew in/on/with heat harvest

For thus said the Lord to me, There shall be security in my city, as the light of noonday heat, and it shall be as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest.

5 for to/for face: before harvest like/as to finish flower and unripe grape to wean to be flower and to cut: cut [the] tendril in/on/with pruner and [obj] [the] tendril to turn aside: remove to strike away

Before the reaping time, when the flower has been completely formed, and the unripe grape has put forth its flower and blossomed, then shall he take away the little clusters with pruning-hooks, and shall take away the small branches, and cut them off;

6 to leave: forsake together to/for bird of prey mountain: mount and to/for animal [the] land: country/planet and to summer upon him [the] bird of prey and all animal [the] land: country/planet upon him to winter

And he shall leave [them] together to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth: and the fowls of the sky shall be gathered upon them, and all the beasts of the land shall come upon him.

7 in/on/with time [the] he/she/it to conduct gift to/for LORD Hosts people to draw and to smooth and from people to fear from he/she/it and further nation might might and subjugation which to divide river land: country/planet his to(wards) place name LORD Hosts mountain: mount Zion

In that time shall presents be brought to the Lord of hosts from a people afflicted and peeled, and from a people great from henceforth and for ever; a nation hoping and [yet] trodden down, which is in a part of a river of his land, to the place where is the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Sion.
