Nahum 2:3-6

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.
^6 (E)The river gates are opened;
    the palace ^(F)melts away;
