NASB
"You have increased your traders more than the stars of heaven-- The creeping locust strips and flies away."
— Nahum 3:16, NASB
“Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.”
“Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm ravageth, and fleeth away. ”
“You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away.”
“Increase your merchants more than the stars of heaven! They are like the young locust which sheds its skin and flies away.”
“Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away.”
“Let your traders be increased more than the stars of heaven:”
“Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.”
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.
You have increased your traders more than the stars of heaven-- The creeping locust strips and flies away.
Your guardsmen are like the swarming locust. Your marshals are like hordes of grasshoppers Settling in the stone walls on a cold day. The sun rises and they flee, And the place where they are is not known.
Your shepherds are sleeping, O king of Assyria; Your nobles are lying down. Your people are scattered on the mountains And there is no one to regather them.
There is no relief for your breakdown, Your wound is incurable. All who hear about you Will clap their hands over you, For on whom has not your evil passed continually?
