Isaiah 5:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ None of them grows tired.
    None of them falls down.
    None of them sleeps or even takes a nap.
All of them are ready for battle.
    Every belt is pulled tight.
    Not a single sandal strap is broken.
²⁸ The enemies’ arrows are sharp.
    All their bows are ready.
The hooves of their horses are as hard as rock.
    Their chariot wheels turn like a twister.
²⁹ The sound of their army is like the roar of lions.
    It’s like the roar of young lions.
They growl as they capture what they were chasing.
    They carry it off.
    No one can take it away from them.
