25. This is why the Lord’s anger burned against the people:he extended his hand to strike them,the mountains trembled,and their corpses lay in the middle of the streets like dung.Even then God’s anger didn’t turn away;God’s hand was still extended.
26. God will raise a signal to a nation from far awayand whistle to them from the end of the earth—now look—hurrying, swiftly they come!
27. Not one is tired; not one stumbles;they don’t rest or sleep;no belt is loose; no sandal broken;
28. their arrows are sharp;all their bows drawn;their horses’ hooves are like flint;their wheels like the whirlwind.
29. Their roaring is like the lion;they roar like young lions;they growl, seize their prey,and carry it off, with no one to rescue.
