  • A Prophecy Against Cush

    Woe to the land of whirring wingsa
    along the rivers of Cush,b
  • A Message about Ethiopia

    Listen, Ethiopiaa — land of fluttering sailsb
    that lies at the headwaters of the Nile,
  • which sends envoys by sea
    in papyrus boats over the water.
    Go, swift messengers,
    to a people tall and smooth-skinned,
    to a people feared far and wide,
    an aggressive nation of strange speech,
    whose land is divided by rivers.
  • that sends ambassadors
    in swift boats down the river.
    Go, swift messengers!
    Take a message to a tall, smooth-skinned people,
    who are feared far and wide
    for their conquests and destruction,
    and whose land is divided by rivers.
  • All you people of the world,
    you who live on the earth,
    when a banner is raised on the mountains,
    you will see it,
    and when a trumpet sounds,
    you will hear it.
  • All you people of the world,
    everyone who lives on the earth —
    when I raise my battle flag on the mountain, look!
    When I blow the ram’s horn, listen!
  • This is what the Lord says to me:
    “I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place,
    like shimmering heat in the sunshine,
    like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
  • For the LORD has told me this:
    “I will watch quietly from my dwelling place —
    as quietly as the heat rises on a summer day,
    or as the morning dew forms during the harvest.”
  • For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
    and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
    he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives,
    and cut down and take away the spreading branches.
  • Even before you begin your attack,
    while your plans are ripening like grapes,
    the LORD will cut off your new growth with pruning shears.
    He will snip off and discard your spreading branches.
  • They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey
    and to the wild animals;
    the birds will feed on them all summer,
    the wild animals all winter.
  • Your mighty army will be left dead in the fields
    for the mountain vultures and wild animals.
    The vultures will tear at the corpses all summer.
    The wild animals will gnaw at the bones all winter.
  • At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty
    from a people tall and smooth-skinned,
    from a people feared far and wide,
    an aggressive nation of strange speech,
    whose land is divided by rivers —
    the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.
  • At that time the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will receive gifts
    from this land divided by rivers,
    from this tall, smooth-skinned people,
    who are feared far and wide for their conquests and destruction.
    They will bring the gifts to Jerusalem,c
    where the LORD of Heaven’s Armies dwells.
