2. Assyria once took everything of value from God's people. Its army destroyed all of their vines. But the Lord will bring back the glory of Jacob's people. He'll make Israel glorious again.
3. The shields of the soldiers attacking Nineveh are red. The armies are dressed in bright red uniforms. The metal on their chariots flashes when they are prepared for war. Their spears are ready to use.
4. The chariots race through the main streets. They rush back and forth through them. They look like flaming torches. They dart around like lightning.
5. The commander of the attackers sends for his special troops. But they trip and fall on their way. They run toward the city wall. They keep their shield in front of them.
6. They open the gates that hold back the waters of the river. And the palace falls down.
