Isaiah 5:28-30
New King James Version
Isaiah 5:28-30
New King James Version
28 (A)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 (B)looks to the land,
Behold, darkness and [b]sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.

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

all their bows(B) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(C) seem like flint,

all their bows bent,
their horses' hoofs seem like flint,
and their wheels (B)like the whirlwind.
