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.

KJV

Recordabitur fortium suorum ; ruent in itineribus suis : velociter ascendent muros ejus, et præparabitur umbraculum.

Vulgate

ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς, καὶ συγχυθήσονται τὰ ἅρματα καὶ συνπλακήσονται ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῶν ὡς λαμπάδες πυρὸς καὶ ὡς ἀστραπαὶ διατρέχουσαι.

LXX

He remembereth his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
