Nahum 3:14-16
English Standard Version
14 (A)Draw water for the siege;
(B)strengthen your forts;
go into the clay;
tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick mold!
15 There will the fire devour you;
the sword will cut you off.
It will (C)devour you (D)like the locust.
Multiply yourselves (E)like the locust;
multiply (F)like the grasshopper!
16 You increased (G)your merchants
more than the stars of the heavens.
(H)The locust spreads its wings and flies 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.
