26 And he will raise a signal for a nation[a] from afar,
and he will whistle for it from the end of the earth.
And look! It comes quickly, swiftly!
27 None is weary,
    and none among him stumbles;
    none slumbers and none sleeps.
And no loincloth on his waist is opened,
    and no thong of his sandals is drawn away.

    and all of his bows are bent.
The hoofs of his horses are reckoned like flint,
    and his wheels like the storm wind.

  1. Isaiah 5:26 The Hebrew is plural, but the following verses refer to the nation as singular

26 He lifts up a banner(A) for the distant nations,
    he whistles(B) for those at the ends of the earth.(C)
Here they come,
    swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(D) or stumbles,
    not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(E) is loosened at the waist,(F)
    not a sandal strap is broken.(G)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(H)
    all their bows(I) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(J) seem like flint,
    their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(K)
