Nahum 2:4-6

The Voice

⁴ See the chariots race each other up and down your streets,
    rushing back and forth through the city.
They look like flaming torches.
    They dart like lightning bolts.
⁵ Your king remembers his specially-trained forces,
    but they can’t get it together, stumbling as they march.
They run to protect the city wall
    and try to shield it from the attackers. Their resistance fails.
