Isaiah 18:1-2

New International Reader's Version

A Prophecy Against Cush

18 How terrible it will be for the land
    whose armies are like large numbers of flying insects!
    That land is along the rivers of Cush.
²Its people send messengers on the Nile River.
    They travel over the water in papyrus boats.

Messengers, hurry back home!
    Go back to your people,
    who are tall and have smooth skin.
Everyone is afraid of them.
    They are warriors whose language is different from ours.
    Their land is divided up by rivers.
