Nahum 2:2-4
English Standard Version
2 For (A)the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob
as the majesty of Israel,
for plunderers have plundered them
and (B)ruined their branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is red;
(C)his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;
the cypress spears are brandished.
4 (D)The chariots race madly through the streets;
they rush to and fro through the squares;
they gleam like torches;
they dart 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.
