Isaiah 5:28-29

5:28 Their arrows are sharpened,

and all their bows are prepared.

The hooves of their horses are hard as flint,

and their chariot wheels are like a windstorm.

5:29 Their roar is like a lion’s;

they roar like young lions.

They growl and seize their prey;

they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.


tn Heb “bent” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NIV “are strung.”

tn Heb “regarded like flint.”

sn They are like a windstorm in their swift movement and in the way they kick up dust.
