Nahum 3:13 in Context — Nahum 3

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!

15 Là, le feu te dévorera, L’épée t’exterminera, Te dévorera comme des sauterelles. Entasse-toi comme les sauterelles! Entasse-toi comme les sauterelles!
