Nahum 2:3-10 - The Enemy Army Conquers The City Of Nineveh

³ The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the cypress trees shall be terribly shaken. ⁴ The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad roads: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like lightning. ⁵ He shall recount his nobles: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall, and the defense shall be prepared. ⁶ The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.

⁷ It is decreed: she shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maidens shall lead her as with the moaning of doves, beating upon their breasts. ⁸ Though Nineveh was of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back. ⁹ Take the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is no end of treasure or wealth out of all the precious things. ¹⁰ She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melts, and the knees strike together, and much pain is on all sides, and the faces of them all grow pale.
