Isaiah 5:27
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: 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:
Isaiah 5:27 stands in the first part of Isaiah, in chapters 1-5, within the prophecies of chapters 2-12 and specifically the portion in chapters 2-5. It was written between 760 and 700 B.C. by the prophet of Judah during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, in a crucial period for Judah. That section sets forth the grave backsliding of God's people at that time, which serves as a type of last-day apostasy. The book as a whole also looks ahead to the last days, the work of Christ, and the kingdom of glory.
The chapter is a prophecy of divine judgment connected with oppression of the poor and hoarding of wealth, warning of the strife that grows out of such unjust conditions. The verse describes the enemy force summoned against Israel as tireless, alert, and fully prepared for its campaign, with no weariness or stumbling, no slumber or sleep, no loosened belt, and no broken shoe strap, portraying relentless readiness for invasion. In application, the verse is connected with the remnant rallying around God's recovered standard and being prepared to stand in the final battle.
