Nahum 3:16-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ You have increased your ^(A)traders more than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust ^[a]strips and flies away.
¹⁷ Your ^[b](B)guardsmen are like the swarming locust.
Your ^(C)marshals are like a locust-swarm
Encamping in the stone walls on a cold day.
The sun rises, and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.
¹⁸ Your shepherds are ^(D)sleeping, O ^(E)king of Assyria;
Your ^(F)mighty ones are ^[c]lying down.
Your people are ^(G)scattered on the mountains,
And there is no one to regather them.
