Nahum 3:17 YLT/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 17 Thy crowned ones [are] as a locust, And thy princes as great grasshoppers, That encamp in hedges in a day of cold, The sun hath risen, and it doth flee away, And not known is its place where they are. | 17 Your guards are like locusts, 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. |
