Nahum 2:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 For the Lord will restore the (A)splendor of Jacob
(B)Like the splendor of Israel,
Even though devastators have devastated them
And (C)destroyed their vine branches.
3 The shields of [a]his mighty men are colored red,
The warriors are dressed in (D)scarlet,
The chariots are enveloped in [b]flashing steel
[c]When he is prepared to march,
And the cypress (E)spears are brandished.
4 The (F)chariots race madly in the streets,
They rush wildly in the [d]squares,
Their appearance is like torches,
They dash to and fro like lightning flashes.
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.
