A message about Cush[a]

18 It will be very bad for that land beyond the rivers of Cush. Their ships seem to have wings and fly everywhere! They send messages over the sea in boats that they make from reeds. Their boats sail quickly on the water.

They are a powerful and strong nation.
        Many rivers cross their land.
