Isaiah 5:26-30 New English Translation (NET)

26. He lifts a signal flag for a distant nation,he whistles for it to come from the far regions of the earth.Look, they come quickly and swiftly.

27. None tire or stumble,they don’t stop to nap or sleep.They don’t loosen their belts,or unstrap their sandals to rest.

28. Their arrows are sharpened,and all their bows are prepared.The hooves of their horses are hard as flint,and their chariot wheels are like a windstorm.

29. Their roar is like a lion’s;they roar like young lions.They growl and seize their prey;they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.

30. At that time they will growl over their prey,it will sound like sea waves crashing against rocks.One will look out over the land and see the darkness of disaster,clouds will turn the light into darkness.
