Nahum 2:5

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.

In context

3 The shields of his mighty men are red; the valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of cypress have been brandished.

4 The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning.

5 He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.

6 The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.

7 It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.
