Isaiah 5:26

Isaiah 5:26

24 Therefore, ^aas the fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So ^btheir root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 ^aTherefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And ^bthe hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.
^cFor all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

26 ^aHe will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will ^bwhistle to them from ^cthe end of the earth;
Surely ^dthey shall come with speed, swiftly.

27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor ^awill the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;

28 ^aWhose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will¹ seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.

29 Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.

30 In that day they will roar against them
Like the roaring of the sea.
And if one ^alooks to the land,
Behold, darkness and¹ sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 5:25

Isaiah 5:27 >>

An ensign - To call them together for his service. From far - To the Chaldeans; for even Babylon is called a far country, Isaiah 39:3. And he saith nations, because the Chaldean army was made up of several nations. Will hiss - Or, will whistle unto, or for them: will gather them together by his word. as shepherds gather their sheep. He intimates how easily and speedily God can do this work. From the ends - Which is not to be understood strictly, but with a latitude, from very remote places.
