Nahum 3:17-19
New International Version - UK

17 Your guards are like locusts,
    your officials like swarms of locusts
    that settle in the walls on a cold day –
but when the sun appears they fly away,
    and no one knows where.

18 King of Assyria, your shepherds[a] slumber;
    your nobles lie down to rest.
Your people are scattered on the mountains
    with no one to gather them.
19 Nothing can heal you;
    your wound is fatal.
All who hear the news about you
    clap their hands at your fall,
for who has not felt
    your endless cruelty?
