Nahum 3:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² All your fortresses are fig trees with early figs; if they are shaken they will fall into the mouth of the eater.

¹³ Behold, your troops in the midst of you are [as weak and helpless as] women; the gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies [without effort]; fire consumes your bars.

¹⁴ Draw for yourself the water [necessary] for a [long continued] siege, make strong your fortresses! Go down into the clay pits and trample the mortar; make ready the brickkiln [to burn bricks for the bulwarks]!
