Nahum 3:12-19

12AllH3605 your fortificationsH4013 are 1figH8384 treesH8384 with 2 3ripeH1061 fruitH1061-- WhenH518 shakenH5128, they fallH5307 into the eater’sH398 mouthH6310.13BeholdH2009, your peopleH5971 are 4womenH802 in your midstH7130! The gatesH8179 of your landH776 are 5openedH6605 wideH6605 to your enemiesH340; FireH784 consumesH398 your gate barsH1280.14 6DrawH7579 for yourself waterH4325 for a siegeH4692! 7StrengthenH2388 your fortificationsH4013! GoH935 into the clayH2916 and treadH7429 the mortarH2563! TakeH2388 holdH2388 of the brickH4404 moldH4404!15ThereH8033 8fireH784 will consumeH398 you, The swordH2719 will cutH3772 you downH3772; It will 9consumeH398 you as the creepingH3218 locustH3218 consumes a crop. MultiplyH3513 yourself like the creepingH3218 locustH3218, MultiplyH3513 yourself like the migratoryH697 locustH697.16You have madeH7235 your 10tradersH7402 moreH4480 numerousH7235 thanH4480 the starsH3556 of heavenH8064-- The creepingH3218 locustH3218 shedsH6584 its skinH6584 and fliesH5774 away.17Your 11courtiersH4502 are like the migratoryH697 locustH697. Your 12officialsH2951 are like a swarmH1462 ofH1462 locustsH1462 SettlingH2583 in the stoneH1448 sheltersH1448 on a coldH7135 dayH3117. The sunH8121 risesH2224 and they fleeH5074, And the placeH4725 whereH335 they are is not knownH3045.18Your shepherdsH7462 are 13sleepingH5123, O 14kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; Your 15officersH117 are lyingH7931 downH7931. Your peopleH5971 are 16scatteredH6335 on the mountainsH2022 And thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to gatherH6908 them.19ThereH369 isH369 17noH369 reliefH3545 for your collapseH7667, Your 18woundH4347 is incurableH2470. AllH3605 who hearH8085 19aboutH8088 you Will 20clapH8628 their handsH3709 overH5921 you, For uponH5921 whomH4310 has your evilH7463 not comeH5674 continuallyH8548?
