Nahum 2:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 For the Lord hath [a]turned away the glory of Jacob, as the glory of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and [b]marred their vine branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, [c]the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be as in the fire and flames in the day of his preparation, and [d]the fir trees shall tremble.
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets: they shall run to and fro in the highways: they shall seem like lamps: they shall shoot like the 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.
