Nahum 3:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 There, (A)fire will consume you;
The sword will cut you down;
It will (B)consume you as the locust does.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the swarming locust.
16 You have increased your (C)traders more than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust [a]strips and flies away.
17 Your [b](D)guardsmen are like the swarming locust.
Your (E)marshals are like a locust-swarm
Encamping in the stone walls on a cold day.
The sun rises, and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.

Nahum 3:15-17
Evangelical Heritage Version
15 There the fire will consume you. There the sword will cut you down. It will devour you as a swarm of grasshoppers would, even if you heap up your numbers like swarms of grasshoppers and locusts. 16 You have increased your merchants so that they are more than the stars of heaven! But they are like grasshoppers, which spread out and fly away. 17 Your courtiers are like locusts. Your field marshals are like swarming locusts! They camp in the walls on a cold day. Yet when the sun rises, they fly away, and no one knows where they are.
