Nahum 3:13-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

13. Look, your people are women in your midst.The gates of your land have been flung wide open to your enemies.Fire consumes the bars of your gates.

14. Draw water for yourself to prepare for siege!Strengthen your fortifications!Tread the clay, trample the mortar, grab the brick mold!

15. Fire will consume you there;the sword will cut you down;like the locust it will consume you.Multiply like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper!

16. You boasted more traders than the heavens have stars.The locust sheds its skin and flies away.
