²⁵ Therefore the Lord’s anger^(A) burns against his people;
    his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,^(B)
    and the dead bodies^(C) are like refuse^(D) in the streets.^(E)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,^(F)
    his hand is still upraised.^(G)

²⁶ He lifts up a banner^(H) for the distant nations,
    he whistles^(I) for those at the ends of the earth.^(J)
Here they come,
    swiftly and speedily!
²⁷ Not one of them grows tired^(K) or stumbles,
    not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt^(L) is loosened at the waist,^(M)
    not a sandal strap is broken.^(N)
