12 ¶ Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain i by my sword.
The Prophet doth not speak of the African Aethiopians, south of Egypt, but of the Arabian Aethiopians much nearer to Canaan, whose Countrey was called Cusaea, with the addition Aethiopia Cusaea. See Habak. 3.7. let. a.
Nebuchadnezzar and his Chaldeans called here Gods Sword, for God imploy'd and prospered them.
Punish'd by War, and your people cut off.
