Nahum 3:15
Berean Standard Bible
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!
Context
13Look at your troops—
they are like your women!
The gates of your land
are wide open to your enemies;
fire consumes their bars. 14Draw your water for the siege;
strengthen your fortresses.
Work the clay and tread the mortar;
repair the brick kiln! 15There 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! 16You have multiplied your merchants
more than the stars of the sky.
The young locust strips the land
and flies away. 17Your guards * are like the swarming locust,
and your scribes * like clouds of locusts
that settle on the walls on a cold day.
When the sun rises, they fly away,
and no one knows where.
