Yahweh’s Outstretched Hand

• In all of this his anger has not turned back,
  • and still his hand is stretched out.
• 26 And he will raise a signal for a nation[fn] from afar, and he will whistle for it from the end of the earth.
• And look! It comes quickly, swiftly!
  • 27 None is weary, and none among him stumbles;
  • none slumbers and none sleeps.
• And no loincloth on his waist is opened,
  • and no thong of his sandals is drawn away.
  • 28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all of his bows are bent.
• The hoofs of his horses are reckoned like flint,
  • and his wheels like the storm wind.
  • 29 His roaring is like the lion, and he roars like young lions.
• And he growls and seizes his prey,
  • and he carries it off,
  • and not one can rescue it.
  • 30 And he will roar over him on that day like the roaring of the sea,
• and if one looks to the land, look! Darkness! Distress!
  • And the light grows dark with its[fn] clouds.
