Woe to the land of whirring wings that is beyond the rivers of Cush, which sends envoys by the sea, in papyrus boats over the water!

And they will all be left for birds of prey that live on the mountains and for wild animals. Birds of prey will pass the summer feeding on them, and all the wild animals will pass the winter feeding on them.

They'll remain desolate among desolate lands, their cities will be named among those that are ruined. They will know that I am the LORD when I kindle my fire in Egypt and all who help her are crushed. "When that happens, couriers will go out in ships to terrify Ethiopia in its complacency. Anguish will visit them as it will visit Egypt. Watch out! It's coming!'"
