Nahum 3:13-15

Complete Jewish Bible

¹³ Look at your troops! They behave like women!
Your country’s gates are wide open to your foes;
fire has consumed their bars.
¹⁴ Draw water for the siege!
Strengthen your fortifications!
Go down in the clay, tread the mortar,
Take hold of the mold for bricks!
¹⁵ There the fire will burn you up;
and the sword will cut you down;
it will devour you like grasshoppers.

Make yourselves as many as grasshoppers,
Make yourselves as many as locusts!
