- Ethiopians:
- "Woeª to the landª shadowingª with wings,ª which¹ [is] beyondª¹ the riversª of Ethiopia:ª ... In that¹ timeª shall the presentª be broughtª° unto the LORDª of hostsª of a peopleª scatteredª° and peeled,ª° and from a peopleª¹ terribleª° from¹ their beginning¹ hitherto;ª a nationª meted outª² and trodden under foot,ª whose¹ landª the riversª have spoiled,ª° to¹ the placeª of the nameª of the LORDª of hosts,ª the mountª Zion.ª" {Isa 18:1-7} + "So¹ shall the kingª of Assyriaª lead awayª°¹ the Egyptiansª prisoners,ª and the Ethiopiansª captives,ª youngª and old,ª nakedª and barefoot,ª even with [their] buttocksª uncovered,ª° to the shameª of Egypt.ª ... And they shall be afraidª° and ashamedª° of Ethiopiaª¹ their expectation,ª and of¹ Egyptª their glory.ª" {Isa 20:4-5} + "For¹ I¹ [am] the LORDª thy God,ª the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª thy Saviour:ª° I gaveª° Egyptª [for] thy ransom,ª Ethiopiaª and Sebaª for¹ thee." {Isa 43:3} + "Come up,ª° ye horses;ª and rage,ª° ye chariots;ª and let the mighty menª come forth;ª° the Ethiopiansª and the Libyans,ª that handleª° the shield;ª and the Lydians,ª that handleª° [and] bendª° the bow.ª ... For this¹ [is] the dayª of the Lordª GODª of hosts,ª a dayª of vengeance,ª that he may avengeª° him of his adversaries:ª¹ and the swordª shall devour,ª° and it shall be satiateª° and made drunkª° with their blood:ª¹ for¹ the Lordª GODª of hostsª hath a sacrificeª in the northª countryª by¹ the riverª Euphrates.ª" {Jer 46:9-10} + "And the swordª shall comeª° upon Egypt,ª and great painª shall be¹ in Ethiopia,ª when the slainª shall fallª° in Egypt,ª and they shall take awayª° her multitude,ª and her foundationsª shall be broken down.ª° ... In that¹ dayª shall messengersª go forthª° from¹¹ me² in shipsª to make¹ the carelessª Ethiopiansª afraid,ª° and great painª shall come¹ upon them, as in the dayª of Egypt:ª for,¹ lo,¹ it cometh.ª°" {Ezk 30:4-9}
