26 (A)He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will (B)whistle to them from (C)the end of the earth;
Surely (D)they shall come with speed, swiftly.
27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (E)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
28 (F)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.
