Isaiah 5:26-30
Legacy Standard Bible
26 He will also lift up a (A)standard to the [a]distant nations,
And will (B)whistle for it (C)from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will (D)come with speed swiftly.
27 (E)No one in it is weary or stumbles,
None slumbers or sleeps;
Nor is the (F)belt at its waist undone,
Nor its sandal strap broken.
28 [b](G)Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent;
The hoofs of its horses [c]seem like flint and its chariot (H)wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Its (I)roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions;
It growls and (J)seizes the prey
And carries it off with (K)no one to deliver it.
30 And it will (L)growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one (M)looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

Trials to Come for Judah
18 And it will be in that day, that Yahweh will (A)whistle for the fly that is in the [a](B)remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19 And they will all come and rest upon the steep [b]ravines, on the (C)crevices of the cliffs, (D)on all the thorn bushes, and on all the [c]watering places.
20 In that day, the Lord will (E)shave with a (F)razor—one (G)hired from regions beyond (H)the [d]River (that is, the king of Assyria)—the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.

15 Behold, I am (A)bringing a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh.

A nation whose (B)tongue you do not know,
Nor can you [a]understand what they say.

Mourn the Coming Destroyer
22 Thus says Yahweh,
“Behold, (A)a people is coming from the land of the north,
And a great nation will be aroused from the (B)remote parts of the earth.
23 They take hold of (C)bow and spear;
They are (D)cruel and have no compassion;
Their voice (E)roars like the sea,
And they ride on horses,
Arranged as a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Zion!”
