Isaiah 5:25-30
New American Standard Bible
25 For this reason the (A)anger of the Lord has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them.
And the (B)mountains quaked, and their (C)corpses [a]lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
(D)Despite all this, His anger [b]is not spent,
But His (E)hand is still stretched out.
26 He will also lift up a (F)flag to the distant [c]nation,
And (G)whistle for it (H)from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will (I)come with speed swiftly.
27 (J)No one in it is tired or stumbles,
No one slumbers or sleeps;
Nor is the (K)undergarment at his waist loosened,
Nor his sandal strap broken.
28 [d](L)Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent;
The hoofs of its horses [e]seem like flint, and its chariot (M)wheels like a storm wind.
29 Its (N)roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions;
It growls as it (O)seizes the prey
And carries it off with (P)no one to save it.
30 And it will (Q)roar against it on that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one (R)looks across to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

New International Version
Isaiah 5:25-30
New International Version
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(A) burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(B)
and the dead bodies(C) are like refuse(D) in the streets.(E)
26 He lifts up a banner(H) for the distant nations,
he whistles(I) for those at the ends of the earth.(J)
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(K) or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(L) is loosened at the waist,(M)
not a sandal strap is broken.(N)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(O)
all their bows(P) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(Q) seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(R)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(S)
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(T) their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.(U)
30 In that day(V) they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.(W)
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness(X) and distress;(Y)
even the sun will be darkened(Z) by clouds.
Isaiah 5:25-30
King James Version
Isaiah 5:25-30
King James Version
25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Isaiah 17:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 Oh, the uproar of many peoples
(A)Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the rumbling of nations
Who rush on like the (B)rumbling of mighty waters!
13 The (C)nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,
But He will (D)rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
And be chased (E)like chaff on the mountains before the wind,
Or like whirling dust before a gale.
14 At evening time, behold, there is terror!
Before morning (F)they are gone.
This will be the [a]fate of those who plunder us
And the lot of those who pillage us.

12 Woe to the many nations that rage(A)—
