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.
²⁹Their 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.
³⁰In 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.
