Nahum 2:2-4
The Voice
2 The Eternal One will restore all the glory given to Jacob;
the new nation will resemble the splendor of Israel in its day,
Although destroyers destroyed everything,
even decimating every branch of Jacob’s family tree.
3 Here comes your attacker’s best warriors with gleaming red shields;
the soldiers are in scarlet armor.
Chariots gleam and flash like fire with their approach.
They were carefully made ready for battle.
They taunt you by waving strong spears before you.[a]
4 See the chariots race each other up and down your streets,
rushing back and forth through the city.
They look like flaming torches.
They dart like lightning bolts.
