Isaiah 18:1-2
Tree of Life Version
Ode of Ethiopia
18 Oy! The land of whirring wings,
which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 that sends ambassadors by sea,
in papyrus vessels upon the water.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall
and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide,
a nation powerful and oppressive,
whose land the rivers divide.

King James Version
18 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
