Nahum 3:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Draw water for yourself to prepare for siege!
        Strengthen your fortifications!
        Tread the clay, trample the mortar, grab the brick mold!
¹⁵ Fire will consume you there;
        the sword will cut you down;
            like the locust it will consume you.
Multiply like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper!
¹⁶     You boasted more traders than the heavens have stars.
        The locust sheds its skin and flies away.
