Nahum 2:5 in Context — Nahum 2

3 Os escudos de seus guerreiros são vermelhos, os homens valentes andam vestidos de escarlate; as carruagens brilham no dia em que são preparadas, as lanças se sacodem.

4 As carruagens se movem furiosamente pelas ruas, percorrem as vias; sua aparência é como tochas, correm como relâmpagos.

5 Seus nobres são convocados, porém tropeçam enquanto marcham; eles se apressam ao seu muro, e a proteção é preparada.

6 As comportas dos rios são abertas, e o palácio é arruinado.

7 Está decretado: ela será levada cativa, e suas criadas a acompanharão com voz de pombas, batendo seus peitos.
