Nahum 3:15-17
Jubilee Bible 2000
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off; it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven; the cankerworm spoils and flies away.
17 Thy princes shall be as the locusts and thy captains as the great grasshoppers which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises, they flee away, and it is not known where they were.

Nahum 3:15-17
New International Version
15 There the fire(A) will consume you;
the sword(B) will cut you down—
they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
multiply like locusts!(C)
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(D) they strip the land
and then fly away.
17 Your guards are like locusts,(E)
your officials like swarms of locusts
that settle in the walls on a cold day—
but when the sun appears they fly away,
and no one knows where.
