Woe to the land
shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers
of Ethiopia:
02 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in
vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go,
ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and
peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down,
whose land the rivers have spoiled!
03 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers
on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an
ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a
trumpet, hear ye.
04 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my
rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place
like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of
dew in the heat of harvest.

05 For afore the harvest, when the bud is
perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the
flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with
pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the
branches.
06 They shall be left together unto the fowls of
the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth:
and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the
beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
07 In that time shall the present be brought unto
the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and
peeled, and from a people terrible from their
beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and
trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have
spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of
hosts, the mount Zion.
