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 American Standard Bible
15 There (A)fire will consume you,
The sword will cut you down;
It will (B)consume you as the creeping locust consumes a crop.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the migratory locust.
16 You have made your (C)traders more numerous than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust sheds its skin and flies away.
17 Your (D)courtiers are like the migratory locust.
Your (E)officials are like a swarm of locusts
Settling in the stone shelters on a cold day.
The sun rises and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.
