Nahum 3:12 in Context — Nahum 3
10 Porém ela foi levada em cativeiro; também suas crianças foram despedaçadas nas esquinas de todas as ruas; e sobre seus nobres lançaram sortes, e todos seus maiorais foram aprisionados com grilhões.
11 Tu também estarás bêbada, [e] te esconderás; tu também buscarás fortaleza por causa do inimigo.
12 Todas as tuas fortalezas são [como] figueiras com os primeiros figos, que ao serem sacudidas, caem na boca de quem quer comer.
13 Eis que teu exército será como mulheres no meio de ti; as portas de tua terra se abrirão a teus inimigos; fogo consumirá teus ferrolhos.
14 Reserva para ti água para o cerco, fortifica as tuas fortalezas; entra na lama, pisa o barro, conserta o forno.
