A Prophecy About Cush
18 Woe to the land of the whirring wings, along the rivers of Cush.[a]
2 They send ambassadors by sea, in papyrus boats on the water.
Go, you swift messengers,
to a tall people with smooth, dark skin,[b]
to a nation feared far and near,
a nation powerful and conquering,[c]
from a land divided by rivers!
