2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
*The one who sends messengers by boat using woven reed vessels on the water says, "Go swift messengers to a scattered and dispersed nation, to a fearsome people since long ago. They are a measured and oppressed nation, whose land the rivers have ruined."
