Nahum 2:2-4
Christian Standard Bible
2 For the Lord will restore the majesty of Jacob,(A)
yes,[a] the majesty of Israel,
though ravagers have ravaged them(B)
and ruined their vine branches.(C)
3 The shields of his[b] warriors are dyed red;
the valiant men are dressed in scarlet.(D)
The fittings of the chariot flash like fire(E)
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.
Nahum 2:2-4
New International Version
2 The Lord will restore(A) the splendor(B) of Jacob
like the splendor of Israel,
though destroyers have laid them waste
and have ruined their vines.
3 The shields of the soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.(C)
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of juniper are brandished.[a]
4 The chariots(D) storm through the streets,
rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.
