Isaiah 18:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
Message to Ethiopia
18 Alas, oh land of whirring wings
Which lies beyond the rivers of [a](A)Cush,
2 Which sends envoys by the sea,
Even in (B)papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation [b](C)tall and smooth,
To a people (D)feared [c]far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.
3 (E)All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth,
As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, (F)you will see it,
And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.
