Nahum 3:14
Draw thee waters - Fill all thy cisterns, and draw the waters into the ditches. Tread the mortar - Set thy brick - makers on work to prepare store of materials for thy fortifications.
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!
16 You have multiplied your amerchants more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders and flies away.
The locust plunders and flies away.
