Woe (judgment is coming) to the land of [a]whirring wingsWhich is beyond the rivers of [b]Cush (Ethiopia),
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
1-2 Doom to the land of flies and mosquitoes beyond the Ethiopian rivers,Shipping emissaries all over the world, down rivers and across seas. Go, swift messengers, go to this people tall and handsome,This people held in respect everywhere, this people mighty and merciless, from the land crisscrossed with rivers.
Alas, oh land of whirring wingsWhich lies beyond the rivers of [a]Cush,
How terrible it will be for the land whose armies are like large numbers of flying insects! That land is along the rivers of Cush.
Woe to the land of whirring wings[a] along the rivers of Cush,[b]
