Nahum 3:12-14
Modern English Version
12 All your fortresses are like fig trees
with first-ripe figs:
If they are shaken,
they fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Your troops
are women in your midst!
The gates of your land
are wide open to your enemies;
fire has devoured your bars.
14 Draw water for the siege!
Strengthen your forts!
Go into the clay and
tread the mortar!
Take hold of the brick mold!
Nahum 3:12-14

13 Surely, (B)your people in your midst are women!
The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies;
Fire shall devour the (C)bars of your gates.
14 Draw your water for the siege!
(D)Fortify your strongholds!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Make strong the brick kiln!
