Nahum 2:5 in Context — Nahum 2
3 Car l’Éternel rétablit la gloire de Jacob Et la gloire d’Israël, Parce que les pillards les ont pillés Et ont détruit leurs ceps…
4 Les boucliers de ses héros sont rouges, Les guerriers sont vêtus de pourpre; Avec le fer qui étincelle apparaissent les chars, Au jour qu’il a fixé pour la bataille, Et les lances sont agitées.
5 Les chars s’élancent dans la campagne, Se précipitent sur les places; A les voir, on dirait des flambeaux, Ils courent comme des éclairs…
6 Il se souvient de ses vaillants hommes, Mais ils chancellent dans leur marche; On se hâte vers les murs, Et l’on se prépare à la défense…
7 Les portes des fleuves sont ouvertes, Et le palais s’écroule!…
