American King James Version
"Draw you waters for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick kiln. "
— Nahum 3:14, American King James Version
“Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.”
“Draw thee water for the siege; strengthen thy fortresses; go into the clay, and tread the mortar; make strong the brickkiln. ”
“Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.”
“Draw yourselves water for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Trample the mud and tread the clay! Make mud bricks to strengthen your walls!”
“Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make brick.”
“Get water for the time when you are shut in, make strong your towns: go into the potter's earth, stamping it down with your feet, make strong the brickworks.”
“Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.”
You also shall be drunken: you shall be hid, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.
All your strong holds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
Behold, your people in the middle of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open to your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
Draw you waters for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick kiln.
There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the cankerworm: make yourself many as the cankerworm, make yourself many as the locusts.
You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flees away.
Your crowned are as the locusts, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun rises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
