[1] Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia; [2] that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!” [3] All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen! [4] For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.” [5] For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches. [6] They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will eat them in the summer, and all the animals of the earth will eat them in the winter. [7] In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.
King James Version

Ethiopia

[1] Woe H1945 to the land H776 shadowing H6767 with wings, H3671 which is beyond H5676 the rivers H5104 of Ethiopia: H3568 [2] that sendeth H7971 ambassadors H6735 by the sea, H3220 even in vessels H3627 of bulrushes H1573 upon H6440 the waters, H4325 saying, Go, H3212 ye swift H7031 messengers, H4397 to a nation H1471 scattered H4900 and peeled, H4178§ to a people H5971 terrible H3372 from H4480 their beginning hitherto; H1973 a nation H1471 meted out H6978 and trodden down, H4001§ whose H834 land H776 the rivers H5104 have spoiled! H958§ [3] All H3605 ye inhabitants H3427 of the world, H8398 and dwellers H7931 on the earth, H776 see H7200 ye, when he lifteth up H5375 an ensign H5251 on the mountains; H2022 and when he bloweth H8628 a trumpet, H7782 hear H8085 ye. [4] For H3588 so H3541 the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, I will take my rest, H8252 and I will consider H5027 in my dwelling place H4349§ like a clear H6703 heat H2527 upon H5921 herbs, H216§ and like a cloud H5645 of dew H2919 in the heat H2527 of harvest. H7105 [5] For H3588 afore H6440 the harvest, H7105 when the bud H6525 is perfect, H8552 and the sour grape H1155 is ripening H1580 in the flower, H5328 he shall both cut off H3772 the sprigs H2150 with pruning hooks, H4211 and take away H5493 and cut down H8456 the branches. H5189 [6] They shall be left H5800 together H3162 unto the fowls H5861 of the mountains, H2022 and to the beasts H929 of the earth: H776 and the fowls H5861 shall summer H6972 upon H5921 them, and all the beasts H929 of the earth H776 shall winter H2778 upon them. [7] In that time H6256 shall the present H7862 be brought H2986 unto H413 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 of a people H5971 scattered H4900 and peeled, H4178§ and from a people H5971 terrible H3372 from H4480 their beginning hitherto; H1973 a nation H1471 meted out H6978 and trodden under foot, H4001 whose H834 land H776 the rivers H5104 have spoiled, H958 to the place H4725 of the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the mount H2022 Zion.
