Isaiah 5:26-30

26 He will 1raise a signal for nations far away, and 2whistle for them 3from the ends of the earth; and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27 4None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps, not a waistband is loose, not a sandal strap broken;
28 5their arrows are sharp, all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels 6like the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion, like young lions they roar; they growl and 7seize their prey; they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it on that day, like the growling of the sea. And if one looks to the land, behold, 8darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by its clouds.
