O land of buzzing wings, which fly beyond the rivers of Kush:

that sendest ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters: Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers have divided!

All you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see, when he lifts up a banner on the mountains; and when he blows a shofar, hear!

For so the Lord said to me, I will take my rest, and I will look on in my dwelling place, like the clear heat in sunlight; and like the cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

For before the harvest, when the blossom is past, and the bud is ripening into young grapes, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

They shall be left together to the predatory birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

In that time shall a present be brought to the Lord of hosts, by a people tall and smooth, even by a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers have divided, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Żiyyon.
