“The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.”
The crack of the whip, the rumbling of the wheel, galloping horse, and bounding chariot! Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear—vivid onomatopoetic imagery renders the sound and fury of military assault overwhelming Nineveh. The accumulation of martial imagery creates an overwhelming sensory picture of battle-chaos descending on the city. The intensity conveys that resistance is futile against such overwhelming force.
