9. messengers . . . in ships to . . . Ethiopians--
(Isa 18:1, 2).
The cataracts interposing between them and Egypt should not save them.
Egyptians "fleeing from before Me" in My execution of judgment, as
"messengers" in "skiffs" ("vessels of bulrushes,"
Isa 18:2)
shall go up the Nile as far as navigable, to announce the advance of
the Chaldeans.
as in the day of Egypt--The day of Ethiopia's "pain" shall come
shortly, as Egypt's day came.
