²⁶ He raises a signal flag for the distant nations^(A)
and whistles^(B) for them from the ends of the earth.
Look – how quickly and swiftly they come!
²⁷ None of them grows weary or stumbles;^(C)
no one slumbers or sleeps.
No belt is loose
and no sandal strap broken.
²⁸ Their arrows are sharpened,
and all their bows strung.
Their horses’ hooves are like flint;
their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
²⁹ Their roaring is like a lion’s;^(D)
they roar like young lions;^(E)
they growl and seize their prey
and carry it off,
and no one can rescue it.
