Nahum 3:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 Take as much water as you can for the attack. Make your walls strong. Do repairs to your buildings. 15 The fire will burn you. The sword will cut you and it will kill you like grasshoppers. Grow in number like the grasshoppers and locusts.
16 You welcomed traders into your city until there were more than all the stars in the sky. But they are like locusts. They take everything from the land and then they fly 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.
