Nahum 3:14-16
Names of God Bible
Nineveh’s Strength Will Not Save Her
14 Store water for the siege!
Strengthen your defenses!
Step into the claypits and trample the clay!
Grab the brick mold!
15 Fire will consume you there.
A sword will cut you down.
It will consume you like locusts.
Multiply like locusts!
Multiply like hungry locusts!
16 You have produced more businessmen than there are stars in the sky.
They are like locusts that attack and then 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.
