The word about Cush
Land of whirring wings, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, Sending messengers over the sea in boats of reed on the water. Go, quick messengers, to a nation tall and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide, a nation of hard speech that tramples, whose land the rivers cut through. All you who live in the world, everyone who lives on the earth — when a banner is raised on the mountains, look. When the trumpet sounds, listen. Because this is what the LORD said to me: I'll be quiet and watch from where I am, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. Before the harvest, when the blossom is over and the flower turns into a ripening grape, he'll cut off the shoots with pruning knives and take away the spreading branches. They'll be left together for the birds of prey on the mountains and the animals of the earth. The birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them. At that time a gift will be brought to the LORD Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people feared far and wide, a nation of hard speech that tramples, whose land the rivers cut through — to the place of the name of the LORD Almighty, Mount Zion.

Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: 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! 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. For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
