26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away,
    and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth.
    Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
27 No one shall be weary nor stumble among them;
    no one shall slumber nor sleep,
    neither shall the belt of their waist be untied,
    nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28 whose arrows are sharp,
    and all their bows bent.
Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint,
    and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring will be like a lioness.
    They will roar like young lions.
Yes, they shall roar,
    and seize their prey and carry it off,
    and there will be no one to deliver.
30 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea.
    If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress.
    The light is darkened in its clouds.

    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.
