Nahum 3:15 in Context — Nahum 3
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.
15 Ali o fogo te consumirá, a espada te cortará, te consumirá como o inseto devorador. Multiplica-te como o inseto devorador; multiplica-te como o gafanhoto.
16 Multiplicaste teus mercadores mais que as estrelas do céu; o inseto devorador estende as asas, e sai voando.
17 Teus oficiais são como gafanhotos, e teus capitães como enxames de gafanhotos que pousam em nas paredes nos dias de frio; quando o sol se levanta eles voam, de modo que não se pode saber seu lugar onde estiveram.
