Nahum 3:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² 
All your fortresses are [nothing but] fig trees with ripe figs—
When shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater.
¹³ 
Behold, your people are [as weak and helpless as] women in your midst!
The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies;
Fire consumes the bars across your gates.
¹⁴ 
Draw water for a [long, continued] siege!
Strengthen your fortresses!
Go down to the clay pits, trample the mortar!
Prepare the brick kiln [to burn bricks for the rampart]!
