Nahum 2:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ The shields of his soldiers are red.
    Their uniforms are bright red.
Their chariots are shining like flames of fire
    and are lined up for battle.
    Their horses are ready to go.
⁴ The chariots race wildly through the streets
    and rush back and forth through the square.
They look like burning torches,
    like lightning flashing from place to place!

⁵ The enemy calls for his best soldiers.
    They stumble as they rush ahead.
They run to the wall
    and set up their shield over the battering ram.
