Isaiah 18:1-3

Lexham English Bible

18 Ah! land of the whirring of wings,
    which is beyond the rivers of Cush,
² that sends messengers by the sea
    and in vessels of papyrus on the surface of the waters!
Go, swift messengers, to a tall^[a] and smooth^[b] nation,
    to a people feared near and far,^[c]
a mighty, mighty^[d] and trampling^[e] nation,
    whose land rivers divide.
³ All you inhabitants of the world
    and dwellers of the earth,
when a signal is raised on the^[f] mountains, you must look,
    and when a trumpet is blown,^[g] you must listen!
