1 The one who will scatter you is coming to attack you.Guard your fortress!Keep a lookout on the road!Prepare for battle!Be very courageous!
2 The Lord will restore Jacob’s glory like Israel’s glory,although enemies have looted itand have destroyed its vines.
3 The shields of his warriors are painted red.His soldiers have red uniforms.The metal on his chariots flashes fiery red,so do the spears when they are wavedon the day he prepares for battle.
4 Chariots are racing madly through the streets,rushing this way and that in the city squares.They look like torches, like lightning, as they dart about.
