以賽亞書 18:5

收割之先，花開已謝， 花也成了將熟的葡萄； 他必用鐮刀削去嫩枝， 又砍掉蔓延的枝條，

shōu gē zhī xiān ， huā kāi yǐ xiè ， huā yě chéng le jiāng shú de pú táo ； tā bì yòng lián dāo xiāo qù nèn zhī ， yòu kǎn diào màn yán de zhī tiáo ，

For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
