Nahum 3:16-18
New King James Version
16 You have multiplied your (A)merchants more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders and flies away.
17 (B)Your commanders are like swarming locusts,
And your generals like great grasshoppers,
Which camp in the hedges on a cold day;
When the sun rises they flee away,
And the place where they are is not known.
18 (C)Your shepherds slumber, O (D)king of Assyria;
Your nobles rest in the dust.
Your people are (E)scattered on the mountains,
And no one gathers them.
Nahum 3:16-18
New International Version
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(A) they strip the land
and then fly away.
17 Your guards are like locusts,(B)
your officials like swarms of locusts
that settle in the walls on a cold day—
but when the sun appears they fly away,
and no one knows where.
