Isaiah 5:26-30
1599 Geneva Bible
26 And he will lift up a sign [a]unto the nations afar, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed.
27 None shall [b]faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the girdle of his loins be loosed, nor [c]the latchet of his shoes be broken.
28 Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all his bows bent: his horse hoofs shall be thought like flint, and his wheels like whirlwind.
29 His roaring shall be like a lion, and he shall roar like lion’s whelps: they shall [d]roar, and lay hold of the prey: they shall take it away, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar upon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if [e]they look unto the earth, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light shall be darkened in their [f]sky.
