Nahum 3:12-14
New King James Version
12 All your strongholds are (A)fig trees with ripened figs:
If they are shaken,
They fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Surely, (B)your people in your midst are women!
The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies;
Fire shall devour the (C)bars of your gates.
14 Draw your water for the siege!
(D)Fortify your strongholds!
Go into the clay and tread the mortar!
Make strong the brick kiln!
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.
