Isaiah 18:1-3
Authorized (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!
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth,
see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains;
and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
Isaiah 18:1-3
New International Version

in papyrus(D) boats over the water.
