- Job 8:11
They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
- Job 9:26
which sends couriers by sea, in papyrus vessels on the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people widely feared, to a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.
