Berean Standard Bible
Nahum 3:12-19
12All your fortresses are fig trees with the first ripe figs; when shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater!
13Look at your troops—they are like your women!The gates of your landare wide open to your enemies;fire consumes their bars.
14Draw your water for the siege;strengthen your fortresses.Work the clay and tread the mortar;repair the brick kiln!15There the fire will devour you;the sword will cut you downand consume you like a young locust.Make yourself many like the young locust;make yourself many like the swarming locust!16You have multiplied your merchantsmore than the stars of the sky.The young locust strips the landand flies away.17Your guards1 are like the swarming locust,and your scribes2 like clouds of locuststhat settle on the walls on a cold day.When the sun rises, they fly away,and no one knows where.
