⁴ The chariots^(A) storm through the streets,
    rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
    they dart about like lightning.

⁵ Nineveh summons her picked troops,
    yet they stumble^(B) on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
    the protective shield is put in place.
⁶ The river gates^(C) are thrown open
    and the palace collapses.
