Isaiah 5:25-27
International Standard Version
25 Therefore[a] the anger of the Lord[b] burned against his people,
so he stretched out his hands[c] against them
and afflicted them.
The mountains quaked,
and their corpses were like refuse
in the middle of the streets.
Throughout all of this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hands are[d] still stretched out to attack.[e]
26 The Lord[f] will signal[g] for nations far away,
whistling for them to come[h]
from the ends of the earth.
Look how quickly
and how swiftly they come!
27 No one is weary, no one stumbles,[i]
and no one slumbers or sleeps.
No belt around their waists will come undone,
nor will their sandal straps be broken.
