¹³ Look! Your troops are like women in your midst.
    The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies;
        fire will consume the bars of your gates.
¹⁴ Draw water for a siege!
    Strengthen your fortifications!
Go to the mud pit!
    Trample the clay!
        Grasp the brick mold!
¹⁵ There fire will consume you;
    the sword will cut you off.
        It will consume you like the locust.

Multiply yourself like the locust!
    Multiply yourself like the grasshopper!
