Nahum 3:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven. The locust plunders and flies away.

¹⁷ Your princes are as the swarming locusts, and your captains as the great grasshoppers which remain in the hedges in the cold time. When the Sun rises, they flee away. And the place where they are is not known.

¹⁸ Your shepherds sleep, O king of Assyria! Your strong men lie down. Your people are scattered upon the mountains. And no man gathers.
