New King James Version

New Living Translation

  • Proclamation Against Ethiopia

    Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings,
    Which is beyond the rivers of [a]Ethiopia,
  • A Message about Ethiopia

    Listen, Ethiopiaa — land of fluttering sailsb
    that lies at the headwaters of the Nile,
  • 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.”
  • 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 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.
  • 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!
  • 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 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 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
