1Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: 2That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! 3All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 4For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 5For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruninghooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6και καταλιψει αμα τοιϲ πετινοιϲ του ουρανου · και τοιϲ θηριοιϲ τηϲ γηϲ · και ϲυναχθηϲεται επ αυτουϲ τα πετινα του ουρανου · και παντα τα θηρια τηϲ γηϲ · επ αυτον ηξει : 7εν τω καιρω εκινω · ανενεχθηϲεται δωρα κω ϲαβαωθʼ εκ λαου τεθλιμμενου και τετιλμενου και ταπινου · και απο λαου μεγαλου · απο του νυν κ(αι) ειϲ τον αιωνα χρονον ˙ εθνοϲ αν ελπιϲτον και καταπεπατημενον . ο εϲτιν εν μερι ποταμου τηϲ χωραϲ αυτου · ειϲ τον τοπον · ου το ονομα κυ ϲαβαωθʼ επεκληθη . οροϲ ϲειων ·
6They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. 7In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
