11. You too will become drunk;you will go into hidingand seek refuge from the enemy.
12. All your fortresses are like fig-treeswith their first ripe fruit;when they are shaken,the figs fall into the mouth of the eater.
13. Look at your troops –they are all weaklings.The gates of your landare wide open to your enemies;fire has consumed the bars of your gates.
14. Draw water for the siege,strengthen your defences!Work the clay,tread the mortar,repair the brickwork!
15. There the fire will consume you;the sword will cut you down –and it will devour you like a swarm of locusts.Multiply like grasshoppers,multiply like locusts!
16. You have increased the number of your merchantstill they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,but like locusts they strip the landand then fly away.
