Isaiah 5:28-30
International Standard Version
Isaiah 5:28-30
International Standard Version
28 Their arrows are sharp,
all their bows ready for action.[a]
Their horses’ hooves seem like flint,
and their chariot wheels spin[b] like a whirlwind.
29 With a roar like a lion, they snarl,
and like young lions, they growl;[c]
they seize their prey
and then carry it off,
with no one to rescue.
30 They will roar over it[d] at that time,[e]
like the sea waves roar.
If one surveys the land, watch out!
There’s darkness and distress;
even the daylight is darkened by its clouds.
