Nahum 2:3-10
Jubilee Bible 2000
3 The shield of his valiant ones shall be red, the men of his army are in scarlet, the chariot as fire of torches in the day which shall be made ready; the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets; they shall flow through the streets, their faces like torches; they shall run like the lightnings.
5 He shall remember his valiant ones; they shall stumble in their walk when they make haste to their wall, and the covering shall be prepared.
6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be destroyed.
7 And the queen shall be taken captive; they shall order her to go up, and her maids shall take her, mourning as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.
8 And Nineveh was of old like a pool of water; but now they flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but no one looks back.
9 Take the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold, for there is no end of the riches; honour, more than all the desirable furniture.
10 She is empty and worn out and is in pieces, and the heart melted, the knees smite together, and much pain is in the kidneys, and the faces of them all gather blackness.

Nahum 2:3-10
New International Version
Nahum 2:3-10
New International Version
3 The shields of the soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.(A)
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of juniper are brandished.[a]
4 The chariots(B) storm through the streets,
rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.
5 Nineveh summons her picked troops,
yet they stumble(C) on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
the protective shield is put in place.
6 The river gates(D) are thrown open
and the palace collapses.
7 It is decreed[b] that Nineveh
be exiled and carried away.
Her female slaves moan(E) like doves
and beat on their breasts.(F)
8 Nineveh is like a pool
whose water is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” they cry,
but no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt,(G) knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(H)
