- Alas, oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,
- Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.
- All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth, As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it, And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.
- For thus the LORD has told me, "I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
- For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove and cut 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。
