Nahum 2:2-4
Tree of Life Version
Nahum 2:2-4
Tree of Life Version
Devastation of Nineveh
2 A shatterer has come up against you.
Guard the rampart! Watch the way!
Chazak! Be very courageous!
3 For Adonai turned aside Jacob’s pride
like Israel’s pride—
for spoilers emptied them out
and ruined their vine branches.
4 He makes the shield of warriors’ red—
valiant men are clad in scarlet!
the chariot burns with metal fire
on the day of his preparation,
The fir trees are shaken.

New International Version
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.
