Thus shall they be confounded and turn pale, - For Ethiopia, their expectation, and For Egypt their boast; And the inhabitant of this shore, shall exclaim, in that day, Lo! such, is our expectation, whereunto we fled for help, that we might be delivered from the presence of the king of Assyria! How then shall, we, escape?

Ho! thou land of the buzzing of wings, - Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth by the sea, ambassadors Even in vessels of paper-reed, upon the face of the waters, - Go ye swift messengers Unto a nation drawn out and polished, Unto a people terrible from their beginning and onwards, - A nation most mighty and subduing, Whose land rivers have cut through. All ye inhabitants of the world And ye, that dwell in the earth, - When there is lifted up an ensign on the mountains, Ye shall look, And when there is blown a horn, Ye shall hearken. read more.
For, thus, said Yahweh unto me, - I must be quiet I must look on in my fixed place of abode, - Like a bright heat on the light, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For before harvest, when the bud is perfect, And, the blossom, becometh a ripening grape, Then will one cut down the twigs with pruning-hooks, And the tendrils, will he remove and cast down: They shall be left together. To the ravenous birds, of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, - Then shall the ravenous bird, summer upon them, And, every beast of the earth, upon them, shall winter.

Then shall come a sword into Egypt, And there shall be a pang in Ethiopia When the deadly wounded one falleth in Egypt,- And they take away her multitude, and I her foundations are broken down. Ethiopia and Libya and Lydia, and all the mixed multitude and Cub, and the sons of the land of the covenant with them - by the sword, shall they fall. Thus saith Yahweh, Then shall fall the supporters of Egypt, Then shall come down the pride of her strength, - From Migdol to Seweneh, by the sword shall they fall therein, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh. read more.
So shall they be made desolate in the midst of lands that are desolate,- And :his cities - in the midst of cities that are laid waste, shall be found. So shall they know that, I am Yahweh,- By my setting a fire in Egypt, When all her helpers shall be broken. In that day, shall messengers go forth from before me making haste, to cause dread unto Ethiopia so confident,- And a pang shall be upon them in the day of Egypt, For lo! it cometh.
