27 Not one of them grows tired(A) or stumbles,
    not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(B) is loosened at the waist,(C)
    not a sandal strap is broken.(D)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(E)
    all their bows(F) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(G) seem like flint,
    their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(H)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(I)
    they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(J) their prey
    and carry it off with no one to rescue.(K)
30 In that day(L) they will roar over it
    like the roaring of the sea.(M)
And if one looks at the land,
    there is only darkness(N) and distress;(O)
    even the sun will be darkened(P) by clouds.

27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (A)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
28 (B)Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will [a]seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.
30 In that day they will roar against them
Like the roaring of the sea.
And if one (C)looks to the land,
Behold, darkness and [b]sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.
