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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 There the fire will devour you;
the sword will cut you off.
It will devour you like the locust.
Multiply yourselves like the locust;
multiply like the grasshopper!(A)
16 You increased your merchants
more than the stars of the heavens.
The locust sheds its skin and flies away.
17 Your guards are like grasshoppers,
your scribes like swarms[a] of locusts
settling on the fences
on a cold day—
when the sun rises, they fly away;
no one knows where they have gone.
