Nahum 3:12-15 - Nineveh's Defenses Will Fail
12
with figs that ripened first;
when shaken, they fall—
right into the mouth of the eater!
13
the gates of your land
are wide open to your enemies.
Fire will devour the bars of your gates.
14
strengthen your fortresses.
Step into the clay and tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick-mold!
the sword will cut you down.
It will devour you like the young locust.
Multiply yourselves like the young locust,
multiply like the swarming locust!
