In context

1Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Judah, keep thy feasts, pay thy vows: for they shall no more pass through thee to thy decay.

2It is all over with him, he has been removed, one who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into thy presence, watch the way, strengthen thy loins, be very valiant in thy strength.

— Nahum 2:3 —

4They have destroyed the arms of their power from among men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots shall be destroyed in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion

5in the ways, and the chariots shall clash together, and shall be entangled in each other in the broad ways: their appearance is as lamps of fire, and as gleaming lightnings.
