Nahum 3:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ Fire will consume you there.
A sword will cut you down.
It will consume you like locusts.
Multiply like locusts!
Multiply like hungry locusts!
¹⁶ You have produced more businessmen than there are stars in the sky.
⌞They are⌟ like locusts that attack and then fly away.
¹⁷ Your officers are like locusts,
and your scribes are like swarms of locusts
that settle on the fences when it is cold.
The sun rises, and they scatter in every direction.
No one knows where they’ve gone.
