25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

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:

25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(A) burns against his people;
    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(B)
    and the dead bodies(C) are like refuse(D) in the streets.(E)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,(F)
    his hand is still upraised.(G)

26 He lifts up a banner(H) for the distant nations,
    he whistles(I) for those at the ends of the earth.(J)
Here they come,
    swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(K) or stumbles,
    not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(L) is loosened at the waist,(M)
    not a sandal strap is broken.(N)

But His hand is stretched out still.

26 (D)He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will (E)whistle to them from (F)the end of the earth;
Surely (G)they shall come with speed, swiftly.
27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (H)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
