Nahum 3:13-15

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹³ Look, your troops are like women among you;
your land’s city gates
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-mould!
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!
