Message to Ethiopia

  1 Alas°, oh land° of whirring° wings°
  Which° lies beyond°° the rivers° of I aCush°,
  2 Which sends° envoys° by the sea°,
  Even in apapyrus° vessels° on the surface° of the waters°.
  Go°, swift° messengers°, to a nation° I btall° and smooth°,
  To a people° cfeared° IIfar°° and wide°,
  A powerful° and oppressive° nation°
  Whose° land° the rivers° divide°.
  3 aAll° you inhabitants° of the world° and dwellers° on earth°,
  As soon as a standard° is raised° on the mountains°, byou will see° [it],
  And as soon as the trumpet° is blown°, you will hear° [it].
4 For thus° the LORD° has told° me,
  “I will look° Ifrom My adwelling° place° quietly°
  Like dazzling° heat° in the II bsunshine°,
  Like a cloud° of cdew° in the heat° of harvest°.”
  5 For abefore° the harvest°, as soon as the bud° Iblossoms°
  And the flower° becomes° a ripening° grape°,
  Then He will cut° off° the sprigs° with pruning° knives°
  And remove° [and] cut° away° the spreading° branches°.
  6 They will be left° together° for mountain° birds° aof prey°,
  And for the beasts° of the earth°;
  And the birds° of prey° will spend° the summer° [feeding] on them,
  And all° the beasts° of the earth° will spend° harvest° time° on them.
  7 At that time° a gift° of homage° will be brought° to the LORD° of hosts°
  IFrom a apeople° IItall° and smooth°,
  Even from a people° feared° IIIfar°° and wide°,
  A powerful° and oppressive° nation°,
  Whose° land° the rivers° divide°—
  To the bplace° of the name° of the LORD° of hosts°, [even] Mount° Zion°.

God in care of his people will destroy the Ethiopians.

1 ¶ Woeº to the landº shadowingº with wings,º which² [is] beyondº ² the riversº of Ethiopia:º 2 That sendethº ª ambassadorsº by the sea,º even in vesselsº of bulrushesº uponº ² the waters,º [saying], Go,¹ ª ² ye swiftº messengers,º to² a nationº scatteredº ª and peeled,º ª to² a peopleº terribleº ª from² their beginning² hitherto;º a nationº meted outº ¹ and trodden down,º whose² landº the riversº have spoiled!º ª 3 All² ye inhabitantsº ª of the world,º and dwellersº ª on the earth,º seeº ª ye, when he lifteth upº ª an ensignº on the mountains;º and when he blowethº ª a trumpet,º hearº ª ye. 4 For² soº the LORDº saidº ª unto² me, I will take my rest,º ª and I will considerº ª in my dwelling placeº like a clearº heatº upon² herbs,º [and] like a cloudº of dewº in the heatº of harvest.º 5 For² aforeº the harvest,º when the budº is perfect,º ª and the sour grapeº is² ripeningº ª in the flower,º he shall both cut offº ª the sprigsº with pruning hooks,º and take awayº ª [and] cut downº ª the branches.º 6 They shall be leftº ª togetherº unto the fowlsº of the mountains,º and to the beastsº of the earth:º and the fowlsº shall summerº ª upon² them, and all² the beastsº of the earthº shall winterº ª upon² them.
