Berean Standard Bible
“Woe to the land of whirring wings, along the rivers of Cush,”
Isaiah 18 is a brief oracle directed to Cush, the land south of Egypt along the upper Nile, whose envoys were apparently seeking allies against Assyria. The chapter describes swift messengers and a mighty people, and then pictures God watching quietly from his dwelling.
