For the Lord will restore the majesty of Jacob,(A)
yes,[a] the majesty of Israel,
though ravagers have ravaged them(B)
and ruined their vine branches.(C)

The shields of his[b] warriors are dyed red;
the valiant men are dressed in scarlet.(D)
The fittings of the chariot flash like fire(E)
on the day of its battle preparations,
and the spears are brandished.
The chariots dash madly through the streets;
they rush around in the plazas.
They look like torches;
they dart back and forth like lightning.
