Nahum 2:1-10
1The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength.
2For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches.
3The shield of his mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet. The chariots come with flashing metal on the day he musters them; the cypress spears are brandished.
4The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning.
5He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up.
6The river gates are opened; the palace melts away;
7its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts.
8Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. “Halt! Halt!” they cry, but none turns back.
9Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things.
10Desolate! Desolation and ruin! Hearts melt and knees tremble; anguish is in all loins; all faces grow pale!
