Isaiah 18:5

New International Reader's Version Bible (NIRV)
A farmer cuts off new growth with pruning knives.
    He cuts down spreading branches and takes them away.
He does it before the grapes are harvested.
    That’s when the blooms are gone and the grapes are ripe.
In the same way, the Lord will cut off the nations
    that are gathered against his people.
