1 Nineveh, you are under attack!The power that will shatter you has come.Prepare the defenses!Guard the road!Prepare for battle!(
2 The Lord is about to restore the glory of Israel, as it was before her enemies plundered her.)
3 The enemy soldiers carry red shieldsand wear uniforms of red.They are preparing to attack!Their chariots flash like fire!Their horses prance!
4 Chariots dash wildly through the streets,rushing back and forth in the city squares.They flash like torchesand dart about like lightning.
