Isaiah 5:28-30

Good News Translation

²⁸ Their arrows are sharp, and their bows are ready to shoot. Their horses' hoofs are as hard as flint, and their chariot wheels turn like a whirlwind. ²⁹ The soldiers roar like lions that have killed an animal and are carrying it off where no one can take it away from them.

³⁰ When that day comes, they will roar over Israel as loudly as the sea. Look at this country! Darkness and distress! The light is swallowed by darkness.
