Nahum 2:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The shields of the soldiers are red.
    The army is dressed in red.
The metal on the chariots flashes
    when they are ready to attack.
    Their horses are excited.
⁴ The chariots race through the streets.
    They rush back and forth through the city squares.
They look like torches.
    They run like lightning.

⁵ He^[a] calls his officers.
    But they fall down on the way.
They hurry to the city wall.
    The shield is put into place.
