NET Bible
"The Lord Will Judge a Distant Land in the South Beware, land of buzzing wings, the one beyond the rivers of Cush,"
— Isaiah 18:1, NET Bible
“Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:”
“Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia; ”
“Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;”
“Woe to the land, the winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,”
“Ho! land of the sounding of wings, on the other side of the rivers of Ethiopia:”
“Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:”
The Lord Will Judge a Distant Land in the South Beware, land of buzzing wings, the one beyond the rivers of Cush,
that sends messengers by sea, who glide over the water’s surface in boats made of papyrus. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation of tall, smooth-skinned people, to a people that are feared far and wide, to a nation strong and victorious, whose land rivers divide.
All you who live in the world, who reside on the earth, you will see a signal flag raised on the mountains; you will hear a trumpet being blown.
For this is what the LORD has told me:“I will wait and watch from my place, like scorching heat produced by the sunlight, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest.”
