Nahum 3:14-16
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
14 Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make brick.
15 There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the bruchus, make thyself many like the locust.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away.

Nahum 3:14-16
New International Version
14 Draw water for the siege,(A)
strengthen your defenses!(B)
Work the clay,
tread the mortar,
repair the brickwork!
15 There the fire(C) will consume you;
the sword(D) will cut you down—
they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
multiply like locusts!(E)
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(F) they strip the land
and then fly away.
