Nineveh’s Defenses Will Fail

• 12 are like fig trees with ripe firstfruits— if they are shaken, they will fall into the mouth of the eater.
• 13 are like women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies;
  • fire will consume the bars of your gates.
• 14  Strengthen your fortifications!
• Go to the mud pit!
  • Trample the clay!
    • Grasp the brick mold!
  • 15  the sword will cut you off.
    • It will consume you like the locust.
