2The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,

3and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies

— Nahum 3:4 —

5Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover thy skirts in thy presence, and I will show the nations thy shame, and the kingdoms thy disgrace.

6And I will cast abominable filth upon thee according to thine unclean ways, and will make thee a public example.
