Nahum 3:12-16
Nahum 3:12
All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit— When shaken, they fall into the eater’s mouth.
Nahum 3:13
Behold, your people are women in your midst! The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies; Fire consumes your gate bars.
Nahum 3:14
Draw for yourself water for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Go into the clay and tread the mortar! Take hold of the brick mold!
Nahum 3:15
There fire will consume you, The sword will cut you down; It will consume you as the creeping locust consumes a crop. Multiply yourself like the creeping locust, Multiply yourself like the migratory locust.
Nahum 3:16
You have made your traders more numerous than the stars of heaven— The creeping locust sheds its skin and flies away.
