Isaiah 18:1-3

Good News Translation

God Will Punish Ethiopia

18 ^(A)Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia^[a] there is a land where the sound of wings is heard. ² From that land ambassadors come down the Nile in boats made of reeds. Go back home, swift messengers! Take a message back to your land divided by rivers, to your strong and powerful nation, to your tall and smooth-skinned people, who are feared all over the world.

³ Listen, everyone who lives on earth! Look for a signal flag to be raised on the mountaintops! Listen for the blowing of the bugle!
