Nahum 3:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Draw water for a siege!
    Strengthen your fortifications!
Go to the mud pit!
    Trample the clay!
        Grasp the brick mold!
¹⁵ There fire will consume you;
    the sword will cut you off.
        It will consume you like the locust.

Multiply yourself like the locust!
    Multiply yourself like the grasshopper!
¹⁶ You have increased your merchants more than the stars of heaven;
    like the locust they will shed their skin and fly away.
