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

¹² All your fortifications will be like fig trees with first-ripe fruit: If they are shaken, their figs will fall into the mouth of the eater!

¹³ Your warriors will be like women in your midst; the gates of your land will be wide open to your enemies; fire will consume the bars of your gates.

¹⁴ Draw yourselves water for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Trample the mud and tread the clay! Make mud bricks to strengthen your walls! ¹⁵ Multiply yourself like the young locust; multiply yourself like the flying locust!
