Nahum 3:14-16

New King James Version

¹⁴ Draw your water for the siege!
^(A)Fortify your strongholds!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Make strong the brick kiln!
¹⁵ There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a ^(B)locust.

Make yourself many—like the locust!
Make yourself many—like the swarming locusts!
¹⁶ You have multiplied your ^(C)merchants more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders and flies away.
