Proclamation Against Ethiopia
2 Which sends ambassadors by sea,
Even in vessels of reed on the waters, saying,
“Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth of skin,
To a people terrible from their beginning onward,
A nation powerful and treading down,
Whose land the rivers divide.”

3 All inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth:
aWhen he lifts up a banner on the mountains, you see it;
And when he blows a trumpet, you hear it.

4 For so the Lord said to me,
“I will take My rest,
And I will1 look from My dwelling place
Like clear heat in sunshine,
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
