18:2
Which sends 7971 envoys 6735a by the sea 3220, Even in papyrus 1573 vessels 3627 on the surface 6440 of the waters 4325.

18:3
All 3605 you inhabitants 3427 of the world 8398 and dwellers 7931 on earth 776, As soon as a standard 5251 is raised 5375 on the mountains 2022, you will see 7200 [it], And as soon as the trumpet 7782 is blown 8628, you will hear 8085 [it].

For before 6440 the harvest 7105a, as soon as the bud 6525 blossoms 8552 And the flower 5328 becomes 1961 a ripening 1580 grape 1155, Then He will cut 3772 off 3772 the sprigs 2150 with pruning 4211 knives 4211 And remove 5493 [and] cut 8456 away 8456 the spreading 5189 branches 5189.
18:6
They will be left 5800a together 3164a for mountain 2022 birds 5861 of prey 5861, And for the beasts 929 of the earth 776; And the birds 5861 of prey 5861 will spend 7019b the summer 7019b [feeding] on them, And all 3605 the beasts 929 of the earth 776 will spend 2778b harvest 2778b time 2778b on them.
