Isaiah 5:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ He lifts up a banner to gather the nations that are far away.
    He whistles for them to come
    from the farthest places on earth.
Here they come.
    They are moving very quickly.
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.
