Isaiah 18:5-7
International Children’s Bible
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.
7 At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord of heaven’s armies.
They will come from the people who are tall and smooth-skinned.
They are feared everywhere.
They are a powerful nation with strange speech.
Their land is divided by rivers.
These gifts will be brought to the place of the Lord of heaven’s armies.
They will be brought to Mount Zion.

Isaiah 18:5-7
New International Version
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(A) the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(B)
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey(C)
and to the wild animals;(D)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
7 At that time gifts(E) will be brought to the Lord Almighty
from a people tall and smooth-skinned,(F)
from a people feared(G) far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers(H)—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.(I)
