Nahum 2:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² For Yahweh will restore the majesty of Jacob
    like the majesty of Israel;
for ravagers have ravaged them
    and ruined their branches.

³ The shields of his warriors are dyed red;
    The powerful men are dressed in scarlet.
The metal of the chariots^[a] shines like fire on the day of battle,^[b]
    and their spears quiver.
⁴ The chariots^[c] race madly through the streets;
    they rush back and forth in the public squares.
Their appearance like lightning bolts,
    they dart about like flashes of lightning.
