Nahum 3:15-19

But there [in the very midst of these preparations] the fire will devour you; The sword will cut you down; It will devour you as the locust does. M ultiply yourself like the creeping locusts; Multiply yourself like the swarming locusts. You have increased your traders more than the [visible] stars of heaven— The creeping locust strips and destroys and then flies away. Your guardsmen are like the swarming locusts. Your marshals are like the hordes of grasshoppers Settling in the stone walls on a cold day. When the sun rises, they fly away, And no one knows the place where they are. Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; Your nobles are lying down [in death]. Your people are scattered on the mountains And there is no one to gather them. There is no relief and healing for your hurt; Your wound is incurable. All who hear the news about you Clap their hands over [what has happened to] you. For on whom has your [unceasing] evil not come continually?
