Isaiah 5:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his [a]hand upon them, and hath smitten them that the mountains did tremble: and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hand was stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up a sign [b]unto the nations afar, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed.
27 None shall [c]faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the girdle of his loins be loosed, nor [d]the latchet of his shoes be broken.
