Isaiah 5:26-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. God will raise a signal to a nation from far awayand 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.
