Nineveh’s Defenses Will Fail

• 12 All of your fortifications are like fig trees with ripe firstfruits— if they are shaken, they will fall into the mouth of the eater.
• 13 Look! Your troops 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 Draw water for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications!
• Go to the mud pit!
  • Trample the clay!
    • Grasp the brick mold!
  • 15 There fire will consume you; the sword will cut you off.
    • It will consume you like the locust.
