“He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away,and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth.Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.”
Isaiah 5:26 (WEB)
Context Reading
24Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame,so their root shall be as rottenness,and their blossom shall go up as dust,because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies,and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people,and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them.The mountains tremble,and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets.For all this, his anger is not turned away,but his hand is still stretched out. 26He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away,and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth.Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly. 27No one shall be weary nor stumble among them;no one shall slumber nor sleep,neither shall the belt of their waist be untied,nor the strap of their sandals be broken, 28whose arrows are sharp,and all their bows bent.Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint,and their wheels like a whirlwind.
