12 All your strongholds are afig trees with ripened figs:
If they are shaken,
They fall into the mouth of the eater.
If they are shaken,
They fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Surely, ayour people in your midst are women!
The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies;
Fire shall devour the bbars of your gates.
The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies;
Fire shall devour the bbars of your gates.
14 Draw your water for the siege!
aFortify your strongholds!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Make strong the brick kiln!
aFortify your strongholds!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Make strong the brick kiln!
15 There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a alocust.
Make yourself many—like the locust!
Make yourself many— like the swarming locusts!
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a alocust.
Make yourself many—like the locust!
Make yourself many— like the swarming locusts!
