“On that day,
Messengers,
Shall go out
From me,
In ships,
To terrify
The unsuspecting Ethiopians.
Anguish
Shall come
Upon them
On the day
Of Egypt’s doom.
It is coming!”
Yahweh was going to send out messengers or angels in ships to terrify the unsuspecting Ethiopians, who were south of Egypt. Anguish would come upon these Ethiopians on the same day that Egypt was being enveloped in doom. This was going to happen, so watch out.
