Nahum 3:13-15

New Century Version

¹³Look at your soldiers.
    They are all women!
The gates of your land
    are wide open for your enemies;
    fire has burned the bars of your gates.

¹⁴Get enough water before the long war begins.
    Make your defenses strong!
Get mud,
    mix clay,
    make bricks!
¹⁵There the fire will burn you up.
    The sword will kill you;
    like grasshoppers eating crops, the battle will completely destroy you.
Grow in number like hopping locusts;
    grow in number like swarming locusts!
