Nahum 3:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ Store water for the siege!
Strengthen your defenses!
Step into the claypits and trample the clay!
Grab the brick mold!
¹⁵ Fire will consume you there.
A sword will cut you down.
It will consume you like locusts.
Multiply like locusts!
Multiply like hungry locusts!
¹⁶ You have produced more businessmen than there are stars in the sky.
⌞They are⌟ like locusts that attack and then fly away.
