aWhen he lifts up a banner on the mountains, you see it;
And when he blows a trumpet, you hear it.
“I will take My rest,
And I will1 look from My dwelling place
Like clear heat in sunshine,
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
And the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks
And take away and cut down the branches.
And for the beasts of the earth;
The birds of prey will summer on them,
And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
1From a people tall and smooth of skin,
And from a people terrible from their beginning onward,
A nation powerful and treading down,
Whose land the rivers divide—
To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts,
To Mount Zion.

Isaiah 18:5
The flower "The blossom" - Hebrews her blossom; nitstsah , that is, the blossom of the vine, gephen , vine, understood, which is of the common gender. See Genesis 40:10. Note, that by the defective punctuation of this word, many interpreters, and our translators among the rest, have been led into a grievous mistake, (for how can the swelling grape become a blossom?) taking the word nitstsah for the predicate; whereas it is the subject of the proposition, or the nominative case to the verb.
