The shields of his warriors are painted red.
    His soldiers have red uniforms.
    The metal on his chariots flashes fiery red,
    so do the spears when they are waved
        on the day he prepares for battle.
Chariots are racing madly through the streets,
    rushing this way and that in the city squares.
        They look like torches, like lightning, as they dart about.

    They stumble over themselves as they march.
        They hurry to Nineveh’s wall.
            The shield has been set up for the battering ram.
