Isaiah 18:1-3

Revised Standard Version

18 Ah, land of whirring wings
    which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
² which sends ambassadors by the Nile,
    in vessels of papyrus upon 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.
