Nahum 3:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
10 Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity.
Her children were also dashed to pieces(A)
at the head of every street.
They cast lots for her dignitaries,(B)
and all her nobles were bound in chains.
11 You[a] also will become drunk;
you will hide.[b]
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are fig trees
with figs that ripened first;
when shaken, they fall—
right into the mouth of the eater!

Nahum 3:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Yet even she became an exile,
and went into captivity;
Even her little ones were dashed to pieces
at the corner of every street;
For her nobles they cast lots,
and all her great ones were put into chains.
11 You, too, will drink of this;
you will be overcome;(A)
You, too, will seek
a refuge from the foe.
12 But all your fortresses are fig trees,
bearing early figs;[a]
When shaken, they fall
into the devourer’s mouth.
