Isaiah 18:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 For this is what the Lord said to me:
I will quietly look down from my dwelling
like the shimmering heat of the summer sun,
like a cloud of dew during the harvest heat.
5 For prior to the harvest, when the flowering is over
and the blooms become ripening grapes
the shoots will be cut off with pruning hooks,
and the branches will be cut away and discarded.
6 They will all be left
to the birds of prey on the mountains
and to the wild beasts of the earth.
In summer the birds of prey will dwell there,
while the wild animals will winter on them.
Isaiah 18:4-6
New International Version
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet(A) and will look on from my dwelling place,(B)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(C)
like a cloud of dew(D) in the heat of harvest.”
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(E) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(F)
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(G)
and to the wild animals;(H)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
