1 One who scatters advances against you, O Nineveh. Guard the fortress! Watch the road! Brace yourselves \Strengthen your loins!/! Summon all your strength! 2 For the LORD {YHWH} will restore the splendor of Jacob (he grasps the heel) like the splendor of Israel (he wrestles with God), 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 Annotated Bible. Public domain.
