Isaiah 5:27 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:27

None shall be weary nor stumble among them
Though they should come from far, and make long marches, yet none should be weary by the way, but go on with great cheerfulness and strength; and though they should make such haste, they should not stumble at any thing by the way, nor rush one against another, but proceed with great order in their several ranks: none shall slumber nor sleep;
day nor night, in any fixed stated times, as men usually do: neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed;
with which they should be girded both for strength and greater expedition; this they should not unloose, in order to lie down and take sleep: nor the latchet of their shoes be broken,
which might hinder their journey; they never plucked off their shoes: all the expressions show their indefatigableness, diligence, intenseness, and resolution, and the good order observed by them; see ( Joel 2:7 Joel 2:8 ) .

Isaiah 5:27 In-Context

25 This is why the LORD's anger burned against the people: he extended his hand to strike them, the mountains trembled, and their corpses lay in the middle of the streets like dung. Even then God's anger didn't turn away; God's hand was still extended.

26 God will raise a signal to a nation from far away and whistle to them from the end of the earth— now look—hurrying, swiftly they come!

27 Not one is tired; not one stumbles; they don't rest or sleep; no belt is loose; no sandal broken;

28 their arrows are sharp; all their bows drawn; their horses' hooves are like flint; their wheels like the whirlwind.

29 Their roaring is like the lion; they roar like young lions; they growl, seize their prey, and carry it off, with no one to rescue.
