Щит его могущественных людей сделан красным, доблестные люди в алом; Колесницы - стальной огонь в день его приготовления, и кипарис копья сделаны, чтобы дрожать.

On the day that he [Nebuchadnezzar] is prepared to go out in the army, he polishes his iron chariots, but I do not know what פְּלָדֹת means. I say that it is a material that polishes iron well. And some interpret פְּלָדֹת as an expression of a fiery torch (לַפִּיד), by transposing the letters.
