Nahum 3:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Get enough water before the attack begins.
    Make your defenses strong!
Make the bricks.
    Mix the mortar.
    Repair the wall!
¹⁵ There the fire will burn you up.
    The sword will kill you.
    Like grasshoppers eating crops, the battle will completely destroy you.
Grow in number like hopping locusts.
    Grow in number like swarming locusts!
¹⁶ Your traders are more than the stars in the sky.
    But like locusts, they strip the land and then fly away.
