Isaiah 5:26-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Invasion[a]
26 He will raise a signal to a far-off nation,
and whistle for it from the ends of the earth.(A)
Then speedily and promptly they will come.
27 None among them is weary, none stumbles,
none will slumber, none will sleep.
None with waist belt loose,
none with sandal thong broken.
28 Their arrows are sharp,
and all their bows are bent,
The hooves of their horses like flint,
and their chariot wheels like the whirlwind.
29 They roar like the lion,
like young lions, they roar;
They growl and seize the prey,
they carry it off and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it, on that day,
like the growling of the sea,
Look to the land—
darkness closing in,
the light dark with clouds!(B)

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.
