Nahum 2:3-5
3The shields of 1his mighty men are colored red, The warriors are dressed in 2scarlet, The chariots are enveloped in 3flashing steel 4When he is prepared to march, And the cypress 5spears are brandished.4The 6chariots race madly in the streets, They rush wildly in the 7squares, Their appearance is like torches, They dash to and fro like lightning flashes.5He remembers his 8nobles; They 9stumble in their march, They hurry to her wall, And the 10mantelet is set up.
