Isaiah 5:29

The Lord Will Use Another Nation To Punish His People

²⁸ Their arrows are sharpened,
and all their bows strung.
Their horses’ hooves are like flint;
their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
²⁹ Their roaring is like a lion’s;
they roar like young lions;
they growl and seize their prey
and carry it off,
and no one can rescue it.
³⁰ On that day they will roar over it,
like the roaring of the sea.
When one looks at the land,
there will be darkness and distress;
light will be obscured by clouds.

My People

Roar Like a Lion

No

to fight on Mount Zion
and on its hill.
