Nahum 3:15-17

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁵There the fire will burn you up;
and the sword will cut you down;
it will devour you like grasshoppers.

Make yourselves as many as grasshoppers,
Make yourselves as many as locusts!
¹⁶You had more merchants than stars in the sky.
The locust sheds its skin and flies away.
¹⁷Your guards are like grasshoppers,
your marshals like swarms of locusts,
which settle on the walls on a cold day,
but when the sun rises they fly away;
they vanish to no one knows where.
