Nahum / Question
Question source
Nahum
Nahum warns that despite preparations, “fire will devour you” and “the sword will cut you off.” The line appears in a section that mocks Nineveh’s attempts to strengthen defenses before certain destruction (Nahum 3:14–15).
15There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust.
