Isaiah 18:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will [a]rest and behold in my tabernacle, as [b]the heat drying up the rain, and as a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the flour is finished, and the fruit is ripening in the flour, then he shall cut down the branches with hooks, and shall take away, and cut off the boughs:
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the [c]beasts of the earth: for the fowl shall summer upon it, and every beast of the earth shall winter upon it.
