The chariots race madly through the streets, rushing to and fro through the open squares; their appearance is like torches, like lightning flashes—a chaotic vision of military assault overwhelming the city. The uncontrolled frenzy of the attack contrasts with any ordered defense, suggesting that Nineveh faces a force that transforms the city into a scene of pandemonium and destruction. The imagery of fire and lightning connects the military judgment to divine power.
