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.
The sluice gates are opened; the royal palace is deluged and dissolves.
Nineveh is taken into exile and is led away; her slave girls moan like doves while they beat their breasts.
Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days, but now her people are running away; she cries out:“Stop! Stop!”– but no one turns back.
Her conquerors cry out:“Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!” There is no end to the treasure; riches of every kind of precious thing.
