Isaiah 18:1-4

An Oracle Concerning Cush

1 Ah, land of ^awhirring wings
that is beyond the rivers of ^bCush, ^{▼▼Probably Nubia}
2 which ^dsends ambassadors by the sea,
in vessels of papyrus on the waters!
Go, you swift messengers,
to a nation ^etall and smooth,
to a people feared near and far,
a nation ^fmighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide.
3 All you inhabitants of the world,
you who dwell on the earth,
when ^ga signal is raised on the mountains, look!
When a trumpet is blown, hear!
4 For thus the Lord said to me:
“I will quietly look ^hfrom my dwelling
like clear heat in sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
