{Nahum 2:4} The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Nahum 2:5} He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Nahum 2:6} The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Nahum 2:11} Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, [even] the old lion, walked, [and] the lion’s whelp, and none made [them] afraid? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Nahum 2:12} The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Nahum 2:13} Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
