Nahum 2:1-3

Living Bible

2 Nineveh, you are finished!^[a] You are already surrounded by enemy armies! Sound the alarm! Man the ramparts! Muster your defenses, full force, and keep a sharp watch for the enemy attack to begin! ² For the land of the people of God lies empty and broken after your attacks, but the Lord will restore their honor and power again!

³ Shields flash red in the sunlight! The attack begins! See their scarlet uniforms! See their glittering chariots moving forward side by side, pulled by prancing steeds!
