Context
Proclamation of the Destruction of Nineveh
2:1 The watchmen of Nineveh shout: “An enemy who will scatter you is marching out to attack you!” “Guard the rampart! Watch the road! Prepare yourselves for battle! Muster your mighty strength!” 2:2 For the Lord will restore the majesty of Jacob, as well as the majesty of Israel, though their enemies have plundered them and have destroyed their fields.
Prophetic Vision of the Fall of Nineveh
2:3 The shields of his warriors are dyed red; the mighty soldiers are dressed in scarlet garments. The metal fittings of the chariots shine like fire on the day of battle; the soldiers brandish their spears. 2:4 The chariots race madly through the streets, they rush back and forth in the broad plazas; they look like lightning bolts, they dash here and there like flashes of lightning. 2:5 The commander orders his officers; they stumble as they advance; they rush to the city wall and they set up the covered siege tower. 2:6 The sluice gates are opened; the royal palace is deluged and dissolves. 2:7 Nineveh is taken into exile and is led away; her slave girls moan like doves while they beat their breasts.
