Alas, oh land of whirring wings
Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,
Which sends ambassadors by sea,

“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.”

Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth,
To a people feared far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.

Like dazzling heat in the sunshine,
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

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.

And remove and cut away the spreading branches.

To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.
