- Woe to the land of whirring wings along the rivers of Cush,
- which sends envoys by sea 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.
- All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it.
- This is what the LORD says to me: "I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
- For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives, and cut down and take away the spreading branches.

- 唉,古实河外翅膀刷刷响声之地,
- 差遣使者在水面上,坐蒲草船过海。先知说,你们快行的使者,要到高大光滑的民那里去。自从开国以来那民极其可畏,是分地界践踏人的,他们的地有江河分开。
- 世上一切的居民,和地上所住的人哪,山上竖立大旗的时候,你们要看。吹角的时候,你们要听。
- 耶和华对我这样说,我要安静,在我的居所观看,如同日光中的清热,又如露水的云雾在收割的热天。
- 收割之先,花开已谢,花也成了将熟的葡萄,他必用镰刀削去嫩枝,又砍掉蔓延的枝条。
