1WoeH1945 to the landH776 shadowingH6767 with wingsH3671, which is beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568:

2That sendethH7971 ambassadorsH6735 by the seaH3220, even in vesselsH3627 of bulrushesH1573 uponH6440 the watersH4325, saying, GoH3212, ye swiftH7031 messengersH4397, to a nationH1471 scatteredH4900 and peeledH4178, to a peopleH5971 terribleH3372 from their beginning hithertoH1973; a nationH1471 meted outH6978 and trodden downH4001, whose landH776 the riversH5104 have spoiledH958!123
