7/7 (一)
以賽亞書 18：6-7
現代中文譯本（2019）
6 他們兵士的屍首暴露在外，給飛禽走獸當食物；夏天有飛鳥來抓食，冬天有野獸來咀嚼。」
7 時候快到了，那被河流畫分之地，這個全世界所畏懼，又強又大的國家，又高大又強壯的人民，要向上主—萬軍的統帥獻祭。他們要到錫安山敬拜上主—萬軍的統帥。
ESV
6 They shall all of them be left to the birds of prey of the mountains and to the beasts of the earth. And the birds of prey will summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
7 At that time tribute will be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide, to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the LORD of hosts.
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
藉動物審判
葡萄樹剪下的枝葉常常用來當柴火（結十五2～4），但是這里卻留給鳥類與其他動物作食物或築巢材料。剪下來的枝葉就像分散的列國一樣，只是些零散的枝幹，間或有些用處，但是對雅巍與猶大不能構成威脅。
