Nahum 3:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁴ Draw water to prepare yourselves for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Trample the mud and tread the clay! Make mud bricks to strengthen your walls!

¹⁵ There the fire will consume you. There the sword will cut you down. It will devour you as a swarm of grasshoppers would, even if you heap up your numbers like swarms of grasshoppers and locusts. ¹⁶ You have increased your merchants so that they are more than the stars of heaven! But they are like grasshoppers, which spread out and fly away.
