Isaiah 5:26-30

International Children’s Bible

²⁶ God raises a banner for the nations far away.
    He is whistling to call those people.
The enemy comes quickly!
²⁷ Not one of them becomes tired or falls down.
    Not one of them gets sleepy and falls asleep.
Their weapons are close at hand.
    Their sandal straps are not broken.
²⁸ Their arrows are sharp.
    All of their bows are ready to shoot.
The horses’ hooves are hard as rock.
    Their chariot wheels move like a whirlwind.
²⁹ Their shout is like the roar of a lion.
    It is loud like a young lion.
The enemy growls as they grab their captives.
    There is no one to stop them from taking their captives away.
³⁰ On that day they will roar
    like the waves of the sea.
And when people look at the land,
    they will see only darkness and pain.
    All light will become dark in this thick cloud.
