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 of them will get tired or trip and fall; none will doze off or fall asleep; their belts won't come loose, and their sandal straps won't break.
God is describing a perfectly disciplined and prepared army that won't fail in any way - they're completely ready for battle.
