Nahum 3:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹Yes, even you will become drunk;
        you will have to hide!
        Even you will have to seek refuge from the enemy!
¹²All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit;
        when the trees are shaken, the fruit falls into the mouth of the eater.
¹³Look, your people are women in your midst.
    The gates of your land have been flung wide open to your enemies.
        Fire consumes the bars of your gates.
