Nahum 3:16 in Context — Nahum 3
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.
18 Teus pastores cochilam, ó rei da Assíria, teus nobres descansam; teu povo se espalhou pelos montes, e ninguém o ajuntará.
