Nahum 3:17-19
17Your 12guardsmen are like the swarming locust. Your 3marshals are like hordes of grasshoppers Settling in the stone walls on a cold day. The sun rises and they flee, And the place where they are is not known.18Your shepherds are 4sleeping, O 5king of Assyria; Your 6nobles are lying down. Your people are 7scattered on the mountains And there is no one to regather them.19There is 8no relief for your breakdown, Your 9wound is incurable. All who hear 10about you Will 11clap their hands over you, For on whom has not your evil passed continually?
