Nahum 3:14-16
New Life Version
14 Store up water to drink when you are shut in by armies! Make your walls stronger! Go into the clay to make more clay blocks for building! 15 There the fire will destroy you. The sword will kill you. It will destroy you like the locust.
Make yourselves as many as the locusts, as many as the flying locusts. 16 You have more traders than the stars of heaven. The locust destroys everything from the land 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.
