Nahum 3:16
| ← Nahum 3:15 | Nahum 3:16 (KJV) | Nahum 3:17 → |
|---|---|---|
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
|
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
|
Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they [are].
