3. All you who inhabit the world,who live on earth,when a signal is raised on the mountains, you will see!When the trumpet blasts, you will hear!
4. The Lord said to me:I will quietly watch from my own place,like the shimmering heat of sunshine,like a cloud’s shade in the harvest heat.
5. Before the harvest, when the bloom is finished, when the blossom is becominga ripening fruit,God will cut the shoots with a pruning knife,and lop off the spreading branches.
6. They will all be left to the mountain birdsand to the beasts of the land.The birds will eat them in summer,all the beasts of the land in winter.
7. At that time, gifts will be brought to the Lord of heavenly forcesfrom a tall and clean-shaven peopleand from a people feared near and far,a nation barbaric and oppressive,whose land the rivers divide,to the place of the name of the Lord of heavenly forces,to Mount Zion.
