Isaiah 18:1-3
New International Reader's Version
A Prophecy Against Cush
18 How terrible it will be for the land
whose armies are like large numbers of flying insects!
That land is along the rivers of Cush.
2 Its people send messengers on the Nile River.
They travel over the water in papyrus boats.
Messengers, hurry back home!
Go back to your people,
who are tall and have smooth skin.
Everyone is afraid of them.
They are warriors whose language is different from ours.
Their land is divided up by rivers.
3 Pay attention, all you people of the world!
Listen, all you who live on earth!
Banners will be lifted up on the mountains.
And you will see them.
Trumpets will be blown.
And you will hear them.
