< Isaiæ 18 >

Alas! O land of whirring of wings which [is] from [the] other side of [the] rivers of Cush.
2 quae mittit in mare legatos, et in vasis papyri super aquas. Ite angeli veloces ad gentem convulsam, et dilaceratam: ad populum terribilem, post quem non est alius: ad gentem expectantem et conculcatam, cuius diripuerunt flumina terram eius:

7 In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum a populo divulso et dilacerato: a populo terribili, post quem non fuit alius, a gente expectante, expectante et conculcata, cuius diripuerunt flumina terram eius, ad locum nominis Domini exercituum montem Sion.
