15There the fire will devour you;
the sword will cut you down
and consume you like a young locust.
Make yourself many like the young locust;
make yourself many like the swarming locust!
16You have multiplied your merchants
more than the stars of the sky.
The young locust strips the land
and flies away.
17Your guards are like the swarming locust,
and your scribes like clouds of locusts
that settle on the walls on a cold day.
When the sun rises, they fly away,
and no one knows where.
— Nahum 3:15-17
