Nahum 3:12 in Context — Nahum 3
10 También ella fué llevada en cautiverio: también sus chiquitos fueron estrellados en las encrucijadas de todas las calles; y sobre sus varones echaron suertes, y todos sus magnates fueron aprisionados con grillos.
11 Tú también serás embriagada, serás encerrada; tú también buscarás fortaleza á causa del enemigo.
12 Todas tus fortalezas cual higueras con brevas; que si las sacuden, caen en la boca del que las ha de comer.
13 He aquí, tu pueblo será como mujeres en medio de ti: las puertas de tu tierra se abrirán de par en par á tus enemigos: fuego consumirá tus barras.
14 Provéete de agua para el cerco, fortifica tus fortalezas; entra en el lodo, pisa el barro, fortifica el horno.
