13
Look, your troops are women among you; the gates of your land are wide open to your enemies. Fire will devour the bars [of your gates].
Nahum 3:13 In-Context
11
You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.
12
All your fortresses are like fig trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs fall into the mouth of the eater.
13
Look at your troops— they are all weaklings. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed the bars of your gates.
14
Draw water for the siege, strengthen your defenses! Work the clay, tread the mortar, repair the brickwork!
15
There the fire will consume you; the sword will cut you down— they will devour you like a swarm of locusts. Multiply like grasshoppers, multiply like locusts!
