Nahum 2:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ The chariots charge madly through the streets,
    rushing back and forth through the squares.
They have the appearance of a blazing fire;
    they dash about like lightning bolts.
⁶ His finest troops are summoned
    and rush forward to the attack.
They hasten toward the wall
    and set up the mantelet.
⁷ The river gates are opened
    and the palace trembles.
