Nahum 3:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Look, your people are women in your midst.
    The gates of your land have been flung wide open to your enemies.
        Fire consumes the bars of your gates.
¹⁴ Draw water for yourself to prepare for siege!
        Strengthen your fortifications!
        Tread the clay, trample the mortar, grab the brick mold!
¹⁵ Fire will consume you there;
        the sword will cut you down;
            like the locust it will consume you.
Multiply like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper!
