Isaiah 5:30

In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.

Isaiah 5:30 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 5.

26 He lifts a banner for the distant nations and whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!

27 None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.

28 Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows are strung. The hooves of their horses are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.

29 Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away from deliverance.

30 In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.
