古實人英勇可畏
18:1
[NASB] Alas, oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,
18:2
[NASB] Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.
18:3
[NASB] All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth, As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see {it,} And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear {it.}
18:4
[NASB] For thus the LORD has told me, "I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
18:5
[NASB] For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove {and} cut away the spreading branches.
18:6
[NASB] They will be left together for mountain birds of prey, And for the beasts of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer {feeding} on them, And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.
18:7
[NASB] At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth, Even from a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, {even} Mount Zion.
