Isaiah 5:26-30
New American Standard Bible
26 He will also lift up a (A)flag to the distant [a]nation,
And (B)whistle for it (C)from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will (D)come with speed swiftly.
27 (E)No one in it is tired or stumbles,
No one slumbers or sleeps;
Nor is the (F)undergarment at his waist loosened,
Nor his sandal strap broken.
28 [b](G)Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent;
The hoofs of its horses [c]seem like flint, and its chariot (H)wheels like a storm wind.
29 Its (I)roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions;
It growls as it (J)seizes the prey
And carries it off with (K)no one to save it.
30 And it will (L)roar against it on that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one (M)looks across to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

Isaiah 5:26-30
New International Version
26 He lifts up a banner(A) for the distant nations,
he whistles(B) for those at the ends of the earth.(C)
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(D) or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(E) is loosened at the waist,(F)
not a sandal strap is broken.(G)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(H)
all their bows(I) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(J) seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(K)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(L)
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(M) their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.(N)
30 In that day(O) they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.(P)
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness(Q) and distress;(R)
even the sun will be darkened(S) by clouds.
