Isaiah 18:1-2

1Alas, oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of 12Cush,2Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in 3papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation 45tall and smooth, To a people 6feared 7far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.
