Oy! The land of whirring wings,

Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

That sends ambassadors by sea,

In papyrus vessels upon the water.

Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall

And smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide,

A nation powerful and oppressive,

Whose land the rivers divide.

All you inhabitants of the world,

And dwellers on earth,

When a banner is raised on the mountains,

Look! 

When a shofar is blown,

Listen!

The Prophet Isaiah Chapter 18 Verse 1
