Isaiah 5:26-30

Expanded Bible

²⁶ He raises a ·banner [standard; signal flag] for the nations far away.
    He whistles to call those people from the ends of the earth.
·Look [^TBehold]! ·The enemy comes ·quickly [swiftly; with great speed]!
²⁷ Not one of them becomes tired or ·falls down [stumbles].
    Not one of them ·gets sleepy [slumbers] and falls asleep.
·Their weapons are close at hand [^LNo belt is loosened],
    and their sandal straps are not broken.
²⁸ Their arrows are sharp,
    and all of their bows are ready to shoot.
The horses’ hoofs ·are hard as rocks [or make sparks like flint],
    and their chariot wheels move like a ·whirlwind [wind storm].
²⁹ Their ·shout is like the roar of [^Lroar is like] a lion;
    it ·is loud [^Lroars] like a young lion.
They growl as they grab their ·captives [prey].
    They carry it off and no one can ·save [rescue] it.
³⁰ On that day they will roar [^Lover it]
    like the ·waves [^Lroaring] of the sea.
And ·when [if] people look at the land,
    they will see only darkness and ·pain [distress];
all light will become dark ·in this thick cloud [or because of clouds].
