Nahum 2:3-10 - The Enemy Army Conquers The City Of Nineveh
3 The shield of his mighty ones has become red; the mighty men are in scarlet; the chariots flame like iron torches in the day of his preparation. And the cypresses are made to quiver. 4 The chariots race madly in the streets; they shall run to and fro in the open squares. Their appearance is like torches; they dart about like lightnings. 5 He shall remember his nobles; they shall stumble in their walking; they shall make haste to its wall, and the covering shall be prepared. 6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be melted.
7 And she who stood firm is uncovered and caused to go away. And her slave women are moaning like the sound of doves, beating their breast. 8 But Nineveh is like a pool of water from her days; yet they are fleeing. Halt! Halt! they cry, but none looks back. 9 Seize the silver; seize the gold; for there is no end to the treasures; riches from all precious vessels. 10 She is empty and void and waste; and the heart melts, and the knees knock, and trembling is on all the loins; and all their faces collect heat.
