isaiah 5:28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

isaiah 5:28 Its arrows are sharp, and all its bows are bent; The hoofs of its horses seem like flint, and its [chariot] wheels like a whirlwind.

28. bent--ready for battle.
hoofs . . . flint--The ancients did not shoe their horses: hence the value of hard hoofs for long marches.
wheels--of their chariots. The Assyrian army abounded in cavalry and chariots (Isa 22:6, 7; 36:8).

isaiah 5:28 Its arrows are sharp, and all its bows are bent; The hoofs of its horses seem like flint, and its [chariot] wheels like a whirlwind.
