Isaiah 5:26-30
New International Version
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.

Isaiah 5:26-30
Common English Bible
26 God will raise a signal to a nation from far away
and whistle to them from the end of the earth—
now look—hurrying, swiftly they come!
27 Not one is tired; not one stumbles;
they don’t rest or sleep;
no belt is loose; no sandal broken;
28 their arrows are sharp;
all their bows drawn;
their horses’ hooves are like flint;
their wheels like the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like the lion;
they roar like young lions;
they growl, seize their prey,
and carry it off, with no one to rescue.
30 On that day, they will roar over it like the roaring of the sea.
And if one looks toward the land, there’s darkness.
Tyre and the Nile will be darkened by the clouds.[a]
