13 Behold, your people are (A)women in your midst!
The gates of your land are (B)opened wide to your enemies;
Fire consumes your gate bars.
14 (C)Draw for yourself water for the siege!
(D)Strengthen your fortifications!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
[a]Take hold of the brick mold!
15 There, (E)fire will consume you;
The sword will cut you down;
It will (F)consume you as the locust does.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the swarming locust.
