Nahum / Question
Question source
Nahum
Nahum says Nineveh multiplied its merchants, but they will flee away like locusts. It also says the officials and scribes scatter when the sun rises, and no one knows where they are (Nahum 3:16–17).
16You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away.
17Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
