1 How terrible it will be for the land beyond the rivers of Cush.It is filled with the sound of wings.
2 That land sends messengers across the sea;they go on the water in boats made of reeds.Go, quick messengers,to a people who are tall and smooth-skinned,who are feared everywhere.They are a powerful nation that defeats other nations.Their land is divided by rivers.
3 All you people of the world, look!Everyone who lives in the world, look!You will see a banner raised on a mountain.You will hear a trumpet sound.
4 The Lord said to me,“I will quietly watch from where I live,like heat in the sunshine,like the dew in the heat of harvest time.”
