Nahum 3:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Draw water for the siege!
    Strengthen your forts!
Go into the clay and
    tread the mortar!
    Take hold of the brick mold!
¹⁵ There the fire will devour you,
    the sword will cut you off;
    it will eat you up like the locust.
Multiply yourselves—like the locust!
    Multiply—like the grasshopper!
¹⁶ You have multiplied your merchants
    more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders
    and flies away.
