Nahum 2:3-10 - The Enemy Army Conquers The City Of Nineveh
3 The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red, the men of war are clothed in bright red: the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready, the horses are shaking. 4 The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames. 5 He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready. 6 The river doorways are forced open, and the king's house is flowing away.
7 And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts. 8 But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back. 9 Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired. 10 Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.
