Nahum 3:12-15 - Nineveh's Defenses Will Fail

¹² All your strongholds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they are shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

¹³ Behold, your troops in the midst of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open unto your enemies: the fire shall devour the bars of your gates.

¹⁴ Draw your water for the siege, fortify your strongholds: go into the clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick kiln. ¹⁵ There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the locust: make yourself many like the locust, make yourself many like the swarming locusts.
