Nachum 3:14-16
Orthodox Jewish Bible
14 Draw thee water for the matzor (siege), fortify thy strongholds, go unto clay, and tread the mortar, repair the brickwork.
15 There shall the eish devour thee, the cherev shall consume thee, it shall eat thee up like the grasshopper. Make thyself many as the grasshopper, make thyself many as the arbeh (locust).
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants more than the kokhavim of HaShomayim; but, like the locust, they strip the land, then fly away.

Nahum 3:14-16
New International Version
14 Draw water for the siege,(A)
strengthen your defenses!(B)
Work the clay,
tread the mortar,
repair the brickwork!
15 There the fire(C) will consume you;
the sword(D) will cut you down—
they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
multiply like locusts!(E)
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(F) they strip the land
and then fly away.
