Isaiah 18:1-2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 18
Ethiopia
1 Woe to the land of buzzing locusts
beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,[a]
2 sending ambassadors by sea
in papyrus vessels across the waters.
Go forth, you swift messengers,
to a nation tall and bronzed,
to a people dreaded near and far,
a mighty and conquering nation
whose land is crossed by many rivers.
