Nahum 3:14
12 All your fortresses are fig trees with the first ripe figs; when shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater!
13 Look at your troops— they are like your women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire consumes their bars.
Draw your water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Work the clay and tread the mortar; repair the brick kiln!
15 There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and consume you like a young locust. Make yourself many like the young locust; make yourself many like the swarming locust!
16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
