An Oracle Concerning Ethiopia

18 Woe to the land vibrating with wings,
    which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

to a nation tall and smooth,
    to a people feared far and wide,
a nation strong and oppressive,
    whose land the rivers have divided.”

    you will see it;
and when he blows a trumpet,
    you will hear it.
