Nahum 2:5 in Context — Nahum 2

3 El escudo de sus valientes será bermejo, los varones de [su] ejército vestidos de grana: el carro como fuego de hachas; el día que se aparejará, temblarán las hayas.

4 Los carros se precipitarán á las plazas, discurrirán por las calles: su aspecto como hachas encendidas; correrán como relámpagos.

5 Acordaráse él de sus valientes; andando tropezarán; se apresurarán á su muro, y la cubierta se aparejará.

6 Las puertas de los ríos se abrirán, y el palacio será destruído.

7 Y la reina fué cautiva; mandarle han que suba, y sus criadas la llevarán gimiendo como palomas, batiendo sus pechos.
