Oracle Of Judgment On Cush

1 Woe be unto the land under the shadow of wings, which is beyond the waters of Ethiopia: 2 which sendeth her message over the sea in ships of reeds upon the water. Get ye hence, ye speedy messengers, to a nation that is scattered abroad and robbed of that they had: a fearful nation from their beginning hitherto; a nation trodden down by little and little, whose land the floods have spoiled.
