Nahum 3:8-19
New International Version
8 Are you better than(A) Thebes,(B)
situated on the Nile,(C)
with water around her?
The river was her defense,
the waters her wall.
9 Cush[a](D) and Egypt were her boundless strength;
Put(E) and Libya(F) were among her allies.
10 Yet she was taken captive(G)
and went into exile.
Her infants were dashed(H) to pieces
at every street corner.
Lots(I) were cast for her nobles,
and all her great men were put in chains.(J)
11 You too will become drunk;(K)
you will go into hiding(L)
and seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are like fig trees
with their first ripe fruit;(M)
when they are shaken,
the figs(N) fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Look at your troops—
they are all weaklings.(O)
The gates(P) of your land
are wide open to your enemies;
fire has consumed the bars of your gates.(Q)
14 Draw water for the siege,(R)
strengthen your defenses!(S)
Work the clay,
tread the mortar,
repair the brickwork!
15 There the fire(T) will consume you;
the sword(U) will cut you down—
they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
multiply like locusts!(V)
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(W) they strip the land
and then fly away.
17 Your guards are like locusts,(X)
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.
18 King of Assyria, your shepherds[b] slumber;(Y)
your nobles lie down to rest.(Z)
Your people are scattered(AA) on the mountains
with no one to gather them.
19 Nothing can heal you;(AB)
your wound is fatal.
All who hear the news about you
clap their hands(AC) at your fall,
for who has not felt
your endless cruelty?(AD)
