Isaiah 18:1-3

New Century Version

God’s Message to Cush

18 How terrible it will be for the land beyond the rivers of Cush.
It is filled with the sound of wings.
²That land sends messengers across the sea;
they go on the water in boats made of reeds.

Go, quick messengers,
    to a people who are tall and smooth-skinned,
    who are feared everywhere.
They are a powerful nation that defeats other nations.
    Their land is divided by rivers.

³All you people of the world, look!
Everyone who lives in the world, look!
You will see a banner raised on a mountain.
You will hear a trumpet sound.
