English Standard Version
Nahum 2:3-5
English Standard Version
3 The shield of his mighty men is red;
(A)his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;
the cypress spears are brandished.
4 (B)The chariots race madly through the streets;
they rush to and fro through the squares;
they gleam like torches;
they dart like lightning.
5 He remembers (C)his officers;
(D)they stumble as they go,
they hasten to the wall;
the siege tower[a] is set up.

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]

rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.

the protective shield is put in place.
