  • An Oracle Concerning Cush

    Ah, land of whirring wings
    that is beyond the rivers of Cush,a
  • Proclamation Against Ethiopia

    Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings,
    Which is beyond the rivers of [a]Ethiopia,
  • which sends ambassadors by the sea,
    in vessels of papyrus on the waters!
    Go, you swift messengers,
    to a nation tall and smooth,
    to a people feared near and far,
    a nation mighty and conquering,
    whose land the rivers divide.
  • Which sends ambassadors by sea,
    Even in vessels of reed on the waters, saying,
    “Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth of skin,
    To a people terrible from their beginning onward,
    A nation powerful and treading down,
    Whose land the rivers divide.”
  • All you inhabitants of the world,
    you who dwell on the earth,
    when a signal is raised on the mountains, look!
    When a trumpet is blown, hear!
  • All inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth:
    When he lifts up a banner on the mountains, you see it;
    And when he blows a trumpet, you hear it.
  • For thus the Lord said to me:
    “I will quietly look from my dwelling
    like clear heat in sunshine,
    like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
  • For so the Lord said to me,
    “I will take My rest,
    And I will [b]look from My dwelling place
    Like clear heat in sunshine,
    Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
  • For before the harvest, when the blossom is over,
    and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
    he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,
    and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.
  • For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect
    And the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
    He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks
    And take away and cut down the branches.
  • They shall all of them be left
    to the birds of prey of the mountains
    and to the beasts of the earth.
    And the birds of prey will summer on them,
    and all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
  • They will be left together for the mountain birds of prey
    And for the beasts of the earth;
    The birds of prey will summer on them,
    And all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
  • At that time tribute will be brought to the Lord of hosts
    from a people tall and smooth,
    from a people feared near and far,
    a nation mighty and conquering,
    whose land the rivers divide,
    to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the Lord of hosts.
  • In that time a present will be brought to the Lord of hosts
    [c]From a people tall and smooth of skin,
    And from a people terrible from their beginning onward,
    A nation powerful and treading down,
    Whose land the rivers divide —
    To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts,
    To Mount Zion.
