Isaiah 18:1-2

American Standard Version

18 Ah, the land ^[a]of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of ^[b]Ethiopia; ² that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, ^[c]even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation ^[d]tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation ^[e]that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers ^[f]divide!
