NASB
"All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit-- When shaken, they fall into the eater's mouth."
— Nahum 3:12, NASB
“All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.”
“All thy fortresses shall be like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. ”
“All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.”
“The Assyrian Defenses Will Fail All your fortifications will be like fig trees with first-ripe fruit: If they are shaken, their figs will fall into the mouth of the eater!”
“All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.”
“All your walled places will be like fig-trees and your people like the first figs, falling at a shake into the mouth which is open for them.”
“All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.”
Ethiopia was her might, And Egypt too, without limits. Put and Lubim were among her helpers.
Yet she became an exile, She went into captivity; Also her small children were dashed to pieces At the head of every street; They cast lots for her honorable men, And all her great men were bound with fetters.
You too will become drunk, You will be hidden. You too will search for a refuge from the enemy.
All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit-- When shaken, they fall into the eater's mouth.
Behold, your people are women in your midst! The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies; Fire consumes your gate bars.
Draw for yourself water for the siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Go into the clay and tread the mortar! Take hold of the brick mold!
There fire will consume you, The sword will cut you down; It will consume you as the locust does. Multiply yourself like the creeping locust, Multiply yourself like the swarming locust.
