Nahum 2:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ The shields of his^[a] warriors are dyed red;
the valiant men are dressed in scarlet.^(A)
The fittings of the chariot flash like fire^(B)
on the day of its battle preparations,
and the spears are brandished.
⁴ The chariots dash madly through the streets;
they rush around in the plazas.
They look like torches;
they dart back and forth like lightning.
⁵ He gives orders to his officers;
they stumble as they advance.
They race to its wall;
the protective shield is set in place.
