In context

11And thou shalt be drunken, and shalt be overlooked; and thou shalt seek for thyself strength because of thine enemies.

12All thy strongholds are as fig trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.

— Nahum 3:13 —

14Draw thee water for a siege, and well secure thy strongholds: enter into the clay, and be thou trodden in the chaff, make the fortifications stronger than brick.

15There the fire shall devour thee; the sword shall utterly destroy thee, it shall devour thee as the locust, and thou shalt be pressed down as a palmerworm.
