  • Isa 18:1-7 : 1 Woe to the land of whirring wings, which lies beyond the rivers of Cush! 2 A land that sends envoys over the sea in papyrus vessels, gliding on the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, a people feared far and wide, a mighty and conquering nation divided by rivers. 3 All you inhabitants of the world, you who dwell on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it; when the trumpet sounds, you will hear it. 4 This is what the LORD said to me, 'I will remain quiet and observe from my dwelling place, like the heat shimmering in sunlight, like a cloud of dew during the heat of harvest.' 5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape, the branches will be cut with pruning knives, and the spreading branches will be removed and discarded. 6 They will all be left for the birds of prey on the mountains and the wild animals of the earth. The birds will spend the summer feeding on them, and all the wild animals will winter upon them. 7 At that time, gifts will be brought to the LORD of Hosts from a people tall and smooth-skinned, a people feared far and wide, a mighty and conquering nation divided by rivers, to the place of the name of the LORD of Hosts, to Mount Zion.

From Migdol to Aswan, they will fall by the sword within her,' declares the Lord God. 7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie in ruins among ruined cities. 8 Then they will know that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt, and all her allies are broken. 9 On that day, messengers will go out from Me in ships to terrify Cush, which lives in complacency. Anguish will overwhelm them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is coming!
