Nahum 3:15-17
Modern English Version
15 There the fire will devour you,
the sword will cut you off;
it will eat you up like the locust.
Multiply yourselves—like the locust!
Multiply—like the grasshopper!
16 You have multiplied your merchants
more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders
and flies away.
17 Your leaders are like grasshoppers,
your commanders like swarms of locusts,
which camp in the hedges on a cold day;
when the sun rises they fly away,
and the place where they are is not known.

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.
