3The shields of his warriors are red;
his soldiers are clothed in crimson.
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day when he musters them;
4The chariots race madly through the streets;
they rush to and fro through the squares;
their appearance is like torches;
they dart like lightning.*

the valiant men are dressed in scarlet.
The fittings of the chariot flash like fire
on the day of its battle preparations,
and the spears are brandished.

They look like torches;
they dart back and forth like lightning.

Shields flash red in the sunlight!
See the scarlet uniforms of the valiant troops!
Watch as their glittering chariots move into position,
with a forest of spears waving above them.
The chariots race recklessly along the streets
and rush wildly through the squares.
They flash like firelight
and move as swiftly as lightning.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
The shields of his warriors are dyed red;
The powerful men are dressed in scarlet.
The metal of the chariots shines like fire on the day of battle,
and their spears quiver.
The chariots race madly through the streets;
they rush back and forth in the public squares.
Their appearance like lightning bolts,
they dart about like flashes of lightning.

KJV 1900King James Version
The shield of his mighty men is made red,
The valiant men are in scarlet:
The chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation,
And the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
The chariots shall rage in the streets,
They shall justle one against another in the broad ways:
They shall seem like torches,
They shall run like the lightnings.
