Nahum 3:13-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Look, your troops are like women among you;
the gates of your land
are wide open to your enemies.
Fire will devour the bars of your gates.

¹⁴ Draw water for the siege;
strengthen your fortresses.
Step into the clay and tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick-mold!
¹⁵ The fire will devour you there;
the sword will cut you down.
It will devour you like the young locust.^(A)
Multiply yourselves like the young locust,
multiply like the swarming locust!
