Woe to the land of whirring wings
along
the rivers of Cush…
which sends envoys by sea
in papyrus boats over the water.
in papyrus boats over the water.
Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,
to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers. Isaiah 18:1-2

Cush is modern day Ethiopia in
Africa. Moses married a Cushite
