In context

¹²All your fortresses are fig trees with the first ripe figs; when shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater!

¹³Look at your troops— they are like your women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire consumes their bars.

¹⁴Draw your water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Work the clay and tread the mortar; repair the brick kiln!

¹⁵There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and consume you like a young locust. Make yourself many like the young locust; make yourself many like the swarming locust!

¹⁶You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.
