Nahum 2:3-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. The shields of his warriors are red;his soldiers are dressed in crimson.The ironwork of the chariots flashes like fireon the day he has prepared;the horses quiver.

4. The chariots race wildly through the streets;they rush back and forth through the squares.They look like flaming torches;they dart like bolts of lightning.

5. He musters his officers;they stumble as they press forward.They hurry to the city wall,and the portable shield is set up.
