Nahum 3:14-16

Amplified Bible

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]!
¹⁵ 
But there [in the very midst of these preparations] the fire will devour you;
The sword will cut you down;
It will devour you as the locust does.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locusts;
Multiply yourself like the swarming locusts.
¹⁶ 
You have increased your traders more than the [visible] stars of heaven—
The creeping locust strips and destroys and then flies away.
