The locust plunders and flies away.
And your generals like great grasshoppers,
Which camp in the hedges on a cold day;
When the sun rises they flee away,
And the place where they are is not known.
Your nobles rest in the dust.
Your people are cscattered on the mountains,
And no one gathers them.
aYour wound is severe.
bAll who hear news of you
Will clap their hands over you,
For upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
| << Nahum 3:17 | Nahum 3:19 >> |
