23:017:012 Woe to the multitude of many people, which
make a noise like
the
noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that
make
a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
23:017:013 The nations shall rush like the rushing
of many waters: but
God
shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and
shall
be
chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
and
like
a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
23:017:014 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and
before the morning he
is
not. This is the portion of them that spoil us,
and the lot
of
them that rob us.
23:018:001 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which
is beyond the
rivers
of Ethiopia:
23:018:002 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even
in vessels of
bulrushes
upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to
a
nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from
their
beginning
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose
land
the rivers have spoiled!
23:018:003 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers
on the earth,
see
ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains;
and
when
he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
23:018:004 For so the lord said unto me, I will
take my rest, and I will
consider
in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs,
and
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
23:018:005 For afore the harvest, when the bud is
perfect, and the sour
grape
is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the
sprigs
with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the
branches.
23:018:006 They shall be left together unto the fowls
of the mountains,
and
to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall
summer
upon
them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter
upon
them.
23:018:007 In that time shall the present be brought
unto the lord of
hosts
of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people
terrible
from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and
trodden
under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to
the
place
of the name of the lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
23:019:001 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the lord
rideth upon a swift
cloud,
and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt
shall
be
moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall
melt in
the
midst of it.
23:019:002 And I will set the Egyptians against the
Egyptians: and they
shall
fight every one against his brother, and every one
against
his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against
kingdom.
