1Woe to the land of the shadow of wings that is at the crossing of the rivers of Kush 2That sends Ambassadors in the Sea and in vessels of papyrus on the face of the waters! The Messengers went quickly to the people who has been plucked and uprooted; to a people whose power belonged to it, and beyond, a people that is despised and downtrodden, for the rivers plundered its land 3All the inhabitants of the world who dwell in the earth, whenever they have lifted up the standard of the mountains, you will see, and whenever the trumpet sounds, you shall hear! 4Because thus said LORD JEHOVAH to me: “I shall be still and look at my preparation as heat shimmering upon the river and like a cloud of dew in the day of harvest 5Because before the harvest the fruit is perfect, and the blossom is weaned and there will be a flower, and he will cut off the worthless with a sickle, and he shall remove and shall shake shoots 6And they shall be left together for the bird of prey of the mountains and for the beast of the Earth, and the bird of prey shall gather against him, and every animal of the Earth will rage against him 7In that day a plundered and uprooted people shall convey gifts to LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, a people whose power belonged to it, and beyond a people that is despised and downtrodden that the rivers plundered his land to the region of the name of LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts to the mountain of Zion The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
