Prophetic Vision of the Fall of Nineveh The shields of his warriors are dyed red; the mighty soldiers are dressed in scarlet garments. The chariots are in flashing metal fittings on the day of battle; the soldiers brandish their spears.
The chariots race madly through the streets, they rush back and forth in the broad plazas; they look like lightning bolts, they dash here and there like flashes of lightning.
The commander orders his officers; they stumble as they advance; they rush to the city wall and they set up the covered siege tower.
