Nahum 2:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ The chariots^[a] race madly through the streets;
    they rush back and forth in the public squares.
Their appearance like lightning bolts,
    they dart about like flashes of lightning.
⁵ He calls his officers;
    they stumble as they march;
they rush to her wall;
    they set the covering^[b] in place.
⁶ The gates of the river are opened;
    the palace trembles.
