3The shield of his mighty ones is become red, Men of might are in scarlet, With fiery torches is the chariot in a day of his preparation, And the firs have been caused to tremble. 4In out-places shine do the chariots, They go to and fro in broad places, Their appearances are like torches, As lightnings they run.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The shield of his mighty men is red;
his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;
the cypress spears are brandished.
The chariots race madly through the streets;
they rush to and fro through the squares;
they gleam like torches;
they dart like lightning.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The shields of the soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of juniper are brandished.
The chariots storm through the streets,
rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
The shields of his warriors are dyed red;
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.
The chariots dash madly through the streets;
they rush around in the plazas.
They look like torches;
they dart back and forth like lightning.

NLTNew Living Translation
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.
