NASB
"He remembers his nobles; They stumble in their march, They hurry to her wall, And the mantelet is set up."
— Nahum 2:5, NASB
“He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.”
“He remembereth his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared. ”
“He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.”
“The commander orders his officers; they stumble as they advance; they rush to the city wall and they set up the covered siege tower.”
“He will muster up his valiant men, they shall stumble in their march: they shall quickly get upon the walls thereof: and a covering shall be prepared.”
“He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.”
“He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.”
For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob Like the splendor of Israel, Even though devastators have devastated them And destroyed their vine branches.
The shields of his mighty men are colored red, The warriors are dressed in scarlet, The chariots are enveloped in flashing steel When he is prepared to march, And the cypress spears are brandished.
The chariots race madly in the streets, They rush wildly in the squares, Their appearance is like torches, They dash to and fro like lightning flashes.
He remembers his nobles; They stumble in their march, They hurry to her wall, And the mantelet is set up.
The gates of the rivers are opened And the palace is dissolved.
It is fixed: She is stripped, she is carried away, And her handmaids are moaning like the sound of doves, Beating on their breasts.
Though Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days, Now they are fleeing; "Stop, stop," But no one turns back.
