Nahum 3:13

Nineveh's Defenses Will Fail

¹² All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit—
When shaken, they fall into the eater’s mouth.
¹³ Behold, your people are women in your midst!
The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies;
Fire consumes your gate bars.
¹⁴ Draw for yourself water for the siege!
Strengthen your fortifications!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Take hold of the brick mold!

Set on Fire

Thine Enemies

They stay in the strongholds;
Their strength is exhausted,
They are becoming like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire,
The bars of her gates are broken.

In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.

And against all the foreigners who are in the midst of her,
And they will become women!
A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered!

The gates of the rivers are opened
And the palace is dissolved.

Whom I have taken by the right hand,
To subdue nations before him
And to loose the loins of kings;
To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:

For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.

He has blessed your sons within you.
