Nahum 3:12 in Context — Nahum 3
10 Et cependant elle est partie pour l’exil, elle s’en est allée captive; Ses enfants ont été écrasés au coin de toutes les rues; On a jeté le sort sur ses nobles, Et tous ses grands ont été chargés de chaînes.
11 Toi aussi, tu seras enivrée, tu te cacheras; Toi aussi, tu chercheras un refuge contre l’ennemi.
12 Toutes tes forteresses Sont des figuiers avec les primeurs; Quand on les secoue, Elles tombent dans la bouche de qui veut les manger.
13 Voici, ton peuple, ce sont des femmes au milieu de toi; Les portes de ton pays s’ouvrent à tes ennemis; Le feu consume tes verrous.
14 Puise de l’eau pour le siège! Répare tes forteresses! Entre dans la boue, foule l’argile! Rétablis le four à briques!
