Isaiah 18:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

18 Ah, land of whirring wings
    beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,^[a]
2 sending ambassadors by the Nile
    in vessels of papyrus on the waters!
Go, you swift messengers,
    to a nation tall and smooth,
to a people feared near and far,
    a nation mighty and conquering,
    whose land the rivers divide.
