Isaiah 5:25–30

25 Therefore the Lord’s angerg burns against his people;

his hand is raised and he strikes them down.

The mountains shake,h

and the dead bodiesi are like refusej in the streets.k

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,l

his hand is still upraised.m

26 He lifts up a bannern for the distant nations,

he whistleso for those at the ends of the earth.p

Here they come,

swiftly and speedily!

27 Not one of them grows tiredq or stumbles,

not one slumbers or sleeps;

not a beltr is loosened at the waist,s

not a sandal strap is broken.t

28 Their arrows are sharp,u

all their bowsv are strung;

their horses’ hoovesw seem like flint,

their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.x

29 Their roar is like that of the lion,y

they roar like young lions;

they growl as they seizez their prey

and carry it off with no one to rescue.a

30 In that dayb they will roar over it

like the roaring of the sea.c

And if one looks at the land,

there is only darknessd and distress;e

even the sun will be darkenedf by clouds.
