Isaiah 5:24-30

24Therefore as the fireH784 devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, and the flameH3852H3956 consumethH7503 the chaffH2842, so their rootH8328 shall be as rottennessH4716, and their blossomH6525 shall go upH5927 as dustH80: because they have cast awayH3988 the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, and despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.1 25Therefore is the angerH639 of YhwhH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 against them, and hath smittenH5221 them: and the hillsH2022 did trembleH7264, and their carcasesH5038 were tornH5478 in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched outH5186 still.2

26And he will lift upH5375 an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319 unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031: 27None shall be wearyH5889 nor stumbleH3782 among them; none shall slumberH5123 nor sleepH3462; neither shall the girdleH232 of their loinsH2504 be loosedH6605, nor the latchetH8288 of their shoesH5275 be brokenH5423: 28Whose arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150, and all their bowsH7198 bentH1869, their horses’H5483 hoofsH6541 shall be countedH2803 like flintH6862, and their wheelsH1534 like a whirlwindH5492: 29Their roaringH7581 shall be like a lionH3833, they shall roarH7580 like young lionsH3715: yea, they shall roarH5098, and lay holdH270 of the preyH2964, and shall carry it away safeH6403, and none shall deliverH5337 it. 30And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098 against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027 unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 in the heavensH6183 thereof.34
