Nahum 3:14-16
New Living Translation
14 Get ready for the siege!
Store up water!
Strengthen the defenses!
Go into the pits to trample clay,
and pack it into molds,
making bricks to repair the walls.
15 But the fire will devour you;
the sword will cut you down.
The enemy will consume you like locusts,
devouring everything they see.
There will be no escape,
even if you multiply like swarming locusts.
16 Your merchants have multiplied
until they outnumber the stars.
But like a swarm of locusts,
they strip the land and 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.
