Nahum 3:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ Yet she was taken captive and exiled.
    Her babies were broken to pieces at the crossroads of every street.
They tossed lots into a bag and drew out names to establish control of her honored men;
    all her best and brightest were put in chains.
¹¹ And just like them, you will go into hiding, getting drunk to escape your terror,
    searching for some place to hide from your enemies.
¹² But those strongholds, Nineveh, are easy pickings,
    like figs on a tree when they first become ripe.
Just shake the tree,
    and figs fall into your open mouth.
