Nahum 3:16-18

American Standard Version

¹⁶ Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm ^[a]ravageth, and fleeth away. ¹⁷ Thy princes are as the locusts, and thy ^[b]marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the ^[c]hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. ¹⁸ Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; thy nobles are at rest; thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them.
