Nahum 2:3-6
3
The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished.
4
The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the broad ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
5
He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.
6
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
