2. That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes up- on 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! |
|
2. which sends emissaries by sea, in swift craft across the water. They say, Go speedily, you messengers! Go to a people perpetually on the move, a nation dreaded far and wide, a people continually infringing, whose rivers have annexed their lands. |

| כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וְשֹׁכְנֵי אָרֶץ כִּנְשֹׂא־נֵס הָרִים תִּרְאוּ וְכִתְקֹעַ שׁוֹפָר תִּשְׁמָעוּ ׃ |

| כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה אֵלַי אֶשְׁקֳוטָה (אֶשְׁקֳטָה) וְאַבִּיטָה בִמְכוֹנִי כְּחֹם צַח עֲלֵי־אוֹר כְּעָב טַל בְּחֹם קָצִיר ׃ |
4. | ||||
4. 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. |
|
4. For thus said the Lord to me: I will watch in silence over my dwelling place when the searing heat overtakes the reapers,a and when the rainclouds appear amid the fever of reaping. |

| כִּי־לִפְנֵי קָצִיר כְּתָם־פֶּרַח וּבֹסֶר גֹּמֵל יִהְיֶה נִצָּה וְכָרַת הַזַּלְזַלִּים בַּמַּזְמֵרוֹת וְאֶת־הַנְּטִישׁוֹת הֵסִיר הֵתַז ׃ |

5. 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. |
|
5. For before the harvest, when the time of flowering is past and the set blossoms are developing into young fruit, they will cut down the fruit‑bearing twigs with knives and remove the new branches by slashing. |

6. 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 win- ter upon them. |
|
6. All shall be left to the birds of prey of the mountains and to the beasts of the land: the birds of prey will feed on them all summer and the beasts of the land all winter. |

7. ¶ 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 be- ginning 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. |
|
7. At that time shall tribute be brought to the Lord of Hosts from a nation perpetually on the move, from a nation dreaded far and wide, a people continually infringing, whose rivers have annexed their lands, to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts: Mount Zion. |
