Nahum 2:3-7

Nahum 2:3-7 TPT

The invading soldiers’ shields are scarlet, each warrior robed in red. The metal of the Babylonian chariots gleams like fire on the day they are made ready for battle, and the wooden spears are brandished in anticipation. The chariots race madly through the streets of Nineveh; they dash wildly through the public squares, gleaming like torches, darting like lightning. The king of Assyria summons his elite commanders, but they stumble while attempting to advance. The attackers run swiftly to the city wall; the protective canopy for the battering ram is set up. The floodgates are opened; the royal palace is inundated by the surging torrent and collapses. Nineveh is stripped, taken captive, and carried into exile. Her maidservants moan like doves and beat their breasts in sorrow.
