Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

The verse 28 is found in chapter 5 of Isaiah. The six woes denounce different expressions of corruption: accumulation of property, excessive drinking, indifference to God’s work, moral relativism, pride, and judicial corruption. The chapter ends by presenting a foreign nation as an instrument of judgment. Unjust prosperity is not interpreted as a permanent blessing, but as a condition that can lead to ruin.

Ihre Pfeile sind scharf und alle ihre Bogen gespannt. Ihrer Rosse Hufe sind wie Felsen geachtet und ihre Wagenräder wie ein Sturmwind.
Sus saetas amoladas, y todos sus arcos entesados; las uñas de sus caballos parecerán como de pedernal, y las ruedas de sus carros como torbellino.
Sus flechas están afiladas y todos sus arcos tensados; los cascos de sus caballos parecen pedernal, y las ruedas de sus carros, un torbellino.
Ses flèches sont aiguës, Et tous ses arcs tendus; Les sabots de ses chevaux ressemblent à des cailloux, Et les roues de ses chars à un tourbillon.
Le lor saette saranno acute, e tutti i loro archi tesi; l’unghie de’ lor cavalli saranno reputate come selci, e le ruote de’ lor carri come un turbo.
As suas flechas serão agudas, e todos os seus arcos retesados; os cascos dos seus cavalos são reputados como pederneiras, e as rodas dos seus carros como redemoinho.
他們的箭銳利, 弓也上了弦; 馬蹄如堅石, 車輪像旋風。
