Nahum 3:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 All your fortresses are like fig trees
with first-ripe figs—
if shaken they fall
into the mouth of the eater.(A)
13 Look at your troops:
they are women in your midst.
The gates of your land
are wide open to your foes;
fire has devoured the bars of your gates.(B)
14 Draw water for the siege;
strengthen your forts;
trample the clay;
tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick mold!

with first-ripe figs—

14 (C)Draw water for the siege;

go into the clay;
tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick mold!
