Nahum 3:13-15

New Century Version

¹⁴ Get enough water before the long war begins.
    Make your defenses strong!
Get mud,
    mix clay,
    make bricks!
¹⁵ There the fire will burn you up.
    The sword will kill you;
    like grasshoppers eating crops, the battle will completely destroy you.
Grow in number like hopping locusts;
    grow in number like swarming locusts!
