Nahum 3:12-14
Authorized (King James) Version
12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs:
if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women:
the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies:
the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Draw thee waters for the siege,
fortify thy strong holds:
go into clay, and tread the morter,
make strong the brickkiln.
Nahum 3:12-14
American Standard Version
12 All thy fortresses shall be like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. 13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women; the gates of thy land are set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire hath devoured thy bars. 14 Draw thee water for the siege; strengthen thy fortresses; go into the clay, and tread the mortar; [a]make strong the brickkiln.
