\v 1 Woe to the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 who send ambassadors by the sea, in vessels of papyrus on the waters.
|
|
\q1 Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth,
|
|
\q1 to a people feared far and near, a nation strong and conquering,
|
|
\q1 whose land the rivers divide!

\v 4 This is what Yahweh said to me, "I will quietly observe from my home,
|
|
\q1 like the simmering heat in sunshine, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Before the harvest, when the blossoming is over, and the flower is ripening into a grape,
|
|
\q1 he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.

\v 6 They will be left together for the birds of the mountains and for the animals of the earth.
|
|
\q1 The birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 At that time tribute will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a people tall and smooth,
|
|
\q1 from a people feared far and near, a nation mighty and conquering whose land the rivers divide,
|
|
to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, to Mount Zion.
