Nahum 2:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ Chariots are racing madly through the streets,
rushing this way and that in the city squares.
They look like torches, like lightning, as they dart about.
⁵ He remembers his best fighting men.
They stumble over themselves as they march.
They hurry to Nineveh’s wall.
The shield has been set up for the battering ram.
⁶ The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace melts away.
