Nahum 3:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Merchants, numerous as stars, filled your city with vast wealth, but your enemies swarm like locusts and carry it away. ¹⁷ Your princes and officials crowd together like grasshoppers in the hedges in the cold, but all of them will flee away and disappear, like locusts when the sun comes up and warms the earth.

¹⁸ O Assyrian king, your princes lie dead in the dust; your people are scattered across the mountains; there is no shepherd now to gather them.
