Nahum 2:1-3

English Standard Version Anglicised

2 ^(A)The scatterer has come up against you.
    ^(B)Man the ramparts;
    watch the road;
dress for battle;^[a]
    collect all your strength.
² For ^(C)the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob
    as the majesty of Israel,
for plunderers have plundered them
    and ^(D)ruined their branches.
³ The shield of his mighty men is red;
    ^(E)his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
    on the day he musters them;
    the cypress spears are brandished.
