1 Alas! O land of whirring of wings which [is] from [the] other side of [the] rivers of Cush.

2 Which sends on the sea envoys and in vessels of papyrus on [the] surface of [the] waters go - O messengers swift to a nation tall and smooth skinned to a people feared from it and beyond a nation of strength of strength and trampling which they divide rivers land its.

3 O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world and [those who] dwell earth when lifts up a standard mountains you will see [it] and just as sounds a trumpet you will hear [it].

4 For thus he said Yahweh to me (I will remain quiet *Qk) and I will pay attention in place my like heat dazzling with light like a cloud of dew in [the] heat of harvest.

5 For before harvest when is finished bud[s] and unripe grape[s] ripening it will become blossom and he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives and the tendrils he will remove he will cut away.

6 They will be abandoned alike to bird[s] of prey of [the] mountains and to [the] animal[s] of the earth and it will pass [the] summer on it the bird[s] of prey and every animal of the earth on it it will pass [the] winter.

7 At the time that it will be brought a gift to Yahweh of hosts a people tall and smooth skinned and from a people feared from it and beyond a nation of - strength of strength and trampling which they divide rivers land its to [the] place of [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [the] mountain of Zion.
