Nahum 3:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ You have more traders than the stars of heaven. The locust destroys everything from the land and flies away. ¹⁷ Your watchmen are like the flying locusts. Your leaders are like clouds of locusts. They stay in the stone walls on a cold day. When the sun rises they fly away and no one knows where they are. ¹⁸ Your shepherds are sleeping, O king of Assyria. Your leaders are lying down. Your people have gone everywhere on the mountains. And there is no one to gather them together again.
