65 The Hebrew text has literally, “for nations from a distance.” The following verses use singular forms to describe this nation, so the final mem (ם) on לְגּוֹיִם (légoyim) may be enclitic or dittographic. In the latter case one could read לְגוֹי מֵרָחוֹק (légoy merakhoq, “for a nation from a distance”; see Deut 28:49; Joel 3:8). Another possibility is to emend the text from לַגּוֹיִם מֵרָחוֹק (laggoyim merakhoq) to לְגוֹי מִמֶּרְחָק (légoy mimmerkhaq, “for a nation from a distant place”) a phrase which occurs in Jer 5:15. In this case an error of misdivision has occurred in , the mem of the prefixed preposition being accidentally taken as a plural ending on the preceding word.
66 Heb “he.” Singular forms are used throughout vv. 26–30 to describe this nation, but for stylistic reasons the translation uses the plural for these collective singulars.
67 Heb “and the belt on his waist is not opened, and the thong of his sandals is not torn in two.”
68 Heb “bent” (so , , , ); “are strung.”
69 Heb “regarded like flint.”
70 They are like a windstorm in their swift movement and in the way they kick up dust.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He will raise a signal for nations far away,

and whistle for them from the ends of the earth;

and behold, quickly, speedily they come!

None is weary, none stumbles,

none slumbers or sleeps,

not a waistband is loose,

not a sandal strap broken;

their arrows are sharp,

all their bows bent,

their horses’ hoofs seem like flint,

and their wheels like the whirlwind.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He lifts up a banner for the distant nations,

he whistles for those at the ends of the earth.

Here they come,

swiftly and speedily!

Not one of them grows tired or stumbles,

not one slumbers or sleeps;

not a belt is loosened at the waist,

not a sandal strap is broken.

Their arrows are sharp,

all their bows are strung;

their horses’ hooves seem like flint,

their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He raises a signal flag for the distant nations

and whistles for them from the ends of the earth.

Look—how quickly and swiftly they come!

None of them grows weary or stumbles;

no one slumbers or sleeps.

No belt is loose

and no sandal strap broken.

Their arrows are sharpened,

and all their bows strung.

Their horses’ hooves are like flint;

their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.

NLTNew Living Translation

He will send a signal to distant nations far away

and whistle to those at the ends of the earth.

They will come racing toward Jerusalem.

They will not get tired or stumble.

They will not stop for rest or sleep.

Not a belt will be loose,

not a sandal strap broken.

Their arrows will be sharp

and their bows ready for battle.

Sparks will fly from their horses’ hooves,

and the wheels of their chariots will spin like a whirlwind.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And he will raise a signal for a nation from afar,

and he will whistle for it from the end of the earth.

And look! It comes quickly, swiftly!

None is weary,

and none among him stumbles;

none slumbers and none sleeps.

And no loincloth on his waist is opened,

and no thong of his sandals is drawn away.

Whose arrows are sharp,

and all of his bows are bent.

The hoofs of his horses are reckoned like flint,

and his wheels like the storm wind.

KJV 1900King James Version

And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far,

And will hiss unto them from the end of the earth:

And, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

None shall be weary nor stumble among them;

None shall slumber nor sleep;

Neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed,

Nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent,

Their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint,

And their wheels like a whirlwind:
