Nahum 3:15-17
World English Bible
15 There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust. 16 You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away. 17 Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

Nahum 3:15-17
New International Version
15 There the fire(A) will consume you;
the sword(B) will cut you down—
they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
multiply like locusts!(C)
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(D) they strip the land
and then fly away.
17 Your guards are like locusts,(E)
your officials like swarms of locusts
that settle in the walls on a cold day—
but when the sun appears they fly away,
and no one knows where.
