Nahum 3:17-19

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.1

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?2
