Isaiah 18:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ The Lord said to me,
    “I will quietly watch from where I live.
I will be like heat in the sunshine.
    I will be like the dew in the heat of harvest time.”
⁵ The time will be after the flowers have bloomed and before the harvest.
    The new grapes will be budding and growing.
Then the enemy will cut the plants with knives.
    He will cut down the vines and take them away.
⁶ They will be left for the birds of the mountains to eat.
    They will be left for the wild animals to eat.
Birds will feed on them all summer.
    And that winter wild animals will eat them.
