1 One who scatters advances against you, O Nineveh. Guard the fortress! Watch the road! Brace yourselves! Summon all your strength! 2 For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though destroyers have laid them waste and ruined the branches of their vine. 3 The shields of his mighty men are red; the valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of cypress have been brandished. 4 The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning. 5 He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place. Nahum 2:1-5, Berean Standard Bible. Public domain.
