Isaiah 5:27-29 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

None shall be weary, &c.— We have in these verses a description of the quality of the forces which should come against Jerusalem; their vigour, activity, and diligence: Isaiah 5:27 their military expedition, readiness, skilfulness, and apparatus; Isaiah 5:28 their fortitude and undaunted courage; Isaiah 5:29. Particulars for which the Romans were remarkably eminent.

Isaiah 5:27-29

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.
