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

12 All thy strong cities shall be like fig trees with ripe figs: which when a man shaketh, they fall into the mouth of the eater.

13 Behold, thy people within thee are but women: the ports of thy land shall be open unto thine enemies, and the fire shall devour thy bars.

14 Draw water now against thou be besieged, make up thy strongholds, go into the clay, temper the mortar, make strong brick: 15 yet the fire shall consume thee, the sword shall destroy thee. Yea, as the locust doth, so shall it eat thee up. It shall fall heavily upon thee as the locusts, yea right heavily shall it fall upon thee, even as the grasshoppers.
