‏ Isaiah 5:27

27. weary--with long marches (De 25:18).

none ... slumber--requiring no rest.

girdle--with which the ancient loose robes used to be girded for action. Ever ready for march or battle.

nor the latchet ... broken--The soles were attached to the feet, not by upper leather as with us, but by straps. So securely clad that not even a strap of their sandals gives way, so as to impede their march.
