Scripture focus

27. None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: 28. Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: 29. Their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it]. 30. And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if [one] look unto the land, behold darkness [and] sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Commentary on Isaiah 5:27

Theological / Devotional

None shall be weary. The picture of vs. 27-30 is of an army rapidly advancing (see ch. 10:28-33). The army presses on in perfect order toward the accomplishment of its appointed task. Nothing would hinder it. Compare the manner in which God hindered the Egyptians as they advanced contrary to His will (Ex. 14:23-25).

Among them. The Dead Sea scroll 1QIs (see Vol. I, p. 31; Vol. IV, p. 86) omits this expression, as does the LXX.
