New King James Version

Nahum 3:10-14 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. Yet she was carried away,She went into captivity;Her young children also were dashed to piecesAt the head of every street;They cast lots for her honorable men,And all her great men were bound in chains.

11. You also will be drunk;You will be hidden;You also will seek refuge from the enemy.

12. All your strongholds are fig trees with ripened figs:If they are shaken,They fall into the mouth of the eater.

13. Surely, your people in your midst are women!The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies;Fire shall devour the bars of your gates.

14. Draw your water for the siege!Fortify your strongholds!Go into the clay and tread the mortar!Make strong the brick kiln!
