Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 18

A Message about Athiupia 

1 Listen, Athiupia land of fluttering sails that lies at the headwaters of the Nile,

2 that sends ambassadors in swift boats down the river. Go, swift messengers! Take a message to a tall, smooth-skinned people, who are feared far and wide for their conquests and destruction, and whose land is divided by rivers.

3 All you people of the world, everyone who lives on the Arath, when I raise my battle flag on the mountain, look! When I blow the ram’s horn, listen!

4 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has told me this: “I will watch quietly from my dwelling place, as quietly as the heat rises on a summer day, or as the morning dew forms during the harvest.”

5 Even before you begin your attack, while your plans are ripening like grapes, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will cut off your new growth with pruning shears. He will snip off and discard your spreading branches.

6 Your mighty army will be left dead in the fields for the mountain vultures and wild animals, the vultures will tear the corpses all summer. The wild animals will gnaw at the bones all winter.

7 At that time 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut will receive gifts from this land divided by rivers, from this tall, smooth-skinned people, who are feared far and wide for their conquests and destruction, They will bring the gifts to Yahushalam, where 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut dwells.
