Nahum 3:12 Meaning and Commentary

Nahum 3:12

All thy strong holds [shall be like] fig trees with the
first ripe figs
Upon them, or like them: "and the first ripe figs"; which are easily shook and gathered; and so easily should the fortresses and towers of Nineveh, in which they trusted for safety, be taken by the enemy, not only one, but all of them: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the
eater;
as such ripe fruit is very desirable, and the mouth of a man is open and ready for them; so if he gives the tree but the least shake, they will fall into his mouth, or about him in great plenty: in like manner, as the fortresses of Nineveh, being of importance, were desirable by the Chaldeans and Medes, and for which they were gaping; so upon the least assault they would fall into their hands; see ( Revelation 6:13 ) .

Nahum 3:12 In-Context

10 Nog is zij gevankelijk gegaan in de gevangenis; ook zijn haar kinderen op het hoofd van alle straten verpletterd geworden; en over haar geeerden hebben zij het lot geworpen, en al haar groten zijn in boeien gebonden geworden.
11 Ook zult gij dronken worden, gij zult u verbergen; ook zult gij een sterkte zoeken vanwege den vijand.
12 Al uw vastigheden zijn vijgebomen met de eerste vruchten; indien zij geschud worden, zo vallen zij dien op den mond, die ze eten wil.
13 Ziet, uw volk zal in het midden van u tot vrouwen worden; de poorten uws lands zullen uw vijanden wijd geopend worden; het vuur zal uw grendelen verteren.
14 Schep u water ter belegering; versterk uw vastigheden; ga in de klei, en treed in het leem; verbeter den ticheloven.
