that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!

Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.

η εξαποστελλουσα πρεσβεις δια θαλασσης και με πλοια σπαρτινα επι των υδατων. Υπαγετε, ταχυδρομοι αγγελιαφοροι, προς εθνος διηρπαγμενον και κατεσπαραγμενον, προς λαον τρομερον απο της αρχης αυτου εως της σημερον, εθνος μεμετρημενον και καταπεπατημενον, του οποιου την γην διηρπασαν οι ποταμοι.

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!
