Isaiah 18:1-2

GOD’S WORD Translation

18 How horrible it will be for the land of whirring wings
which lies beyond the rivers of Sudan.
² It sends messengers by sea
in boats made of reeds
⌞skimming⌟ over the surface of the water.
Go, swift messengers, to a tall and smooth-skinned people,
a people ⌞who are⌟ feared far and near,
a strong and aggressive nation,
whose land is divided by rivers.
