Nahum 3:12-19

12All thy strong holdsH4013 shall be like fig treesH8384 with the firstripe figsH1061: if they be shakenH5128, they shall even fallH5307 into the mouthH6310 of the eaterH398.

13Behold, thy peopleH5971 in the midstH7130 of thee are womenH802: the gatesH8179 of thy landH776 shall be set wideH6605 openH6605 unto thine enemiesH341: the fireH784 shall devourH398 thy barsH1280.

14DrawH7579 thee watersH4325 for the siegeH4692, fortifyH2388 thy strong holdsH4013: goH935 into clayH2916, and treadH7429 the morterH2563, make strongH2388 the brickkilnH4404.

15There shall the fireH784 devourH398 thee; the swordH2719 shall cut thee offH3772, it shall eat thee upH398 like the cankerwormH3218: make thyself manyH3513 as the cankerwormH3218, make thyself manyH3513 as the locustsH697.

16Thou hast multipliedH7235 thy merchantsH7402 above the starsH3556 of heavenH8064: the cankerwormH3218 spoilethH6584, and flieth awayH5774.1

17Thy crownedH4502 are as the locustsH697, and thy captainsH2951 as the great grasshoppersH1462, which campH2583 in the hedgesH1448 in the coldH7135 dayH3117, but when the sunH8121 arisethH2224 they flee awayH5074, and their placeH4725 is not knownH3045 whereH335 they are.

18Thy shepherdsH7462 slumberH5123, O kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: thy noblesH117 shall dwellH7931 in the dust: thy peopleH5971 is scatteredH6335 upon the mountainsH2022, and no man gatherethH6908 them.2

19There is no healingH3545 of thy bruiseH7667; thy woundH4347 is grievousH2470: all that hearH8085 the bruitH8088 of thee shall clapH8628 the handsH3709 over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickednessH7451 passedH5674 continuallyH8548?3
