Nahum 3:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)Draw for yourself water for a siege!
(B)Strengthen your fortifications!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Take hold of the brick mold!
15 There (C)fire will consume you,
The sword will cut you down;
It will (D)consume you as the creeping locust consumes a crop.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the migratory locust.
16 You have made your (E)traders more numerous than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust sheds its skin 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.
