Isaiah 5:26-30

26He will also lift up a 1standard to the 2distant nation, And will 3whistle for it 4from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will 5come with speed swiftly.276No one in it is weary or stumbles, None slumbers or sleeps; Nor is the 7belt at its waist undone, Nor its sandal strap broken.2889Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent; The hoofs of its horses 10seem like flint and its chariot 11wheels like a whirlwind.29Its 12roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions; It growls as it 13seizes the prey And carries it off with 14no one to deliver it.30And it will 15growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one 16looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress; Even the light is darkened by its clouds.
