Nahum 3:16-17 - Nineveh's Defenders Will Flee

¹⁶ You have increased your traders more than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust strips and flies away.
¹⁷ Your guardsmen are like the swarming locust.
Your marshals are like hordes of grasshoppers
Settling in the stone walls on a cold day.
The sun rises and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.
