Isa. 18:1      Isa. 18:3

Isaiah 18:2

that sends ambassadors across the sea,
even papyrus boats on the waters.
Go, you swift-footed messengers, to a people
that is tall and has smooth (soft, shiny) skin [shaved hair],
to a terrible people (a people who have always been known for their wickedness and cruelty)
from the beginning until today, a people who are powerful and trample down,
whose land is divided by rivers.
