Nahum 3:17-19
BRG Bible
17 Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

Nahum 3:17-19
New International Version
17 Your guards are like locusts,(A)
your officials like swarms of locusts
that settle in the walls on a cold day—
but when the sun appears they fly away,
and no one knows where.
18 King of Assyria, your shepherds[a] slumber;(B)
your nobles lie down to rest.(C)
Your people are scattered(D) on the mountains
with no one to gather them.
19 Nothing can heal you;(E)
your wound is fatal.
All who hear the news about you
clap their hands(F) at your fall,
for who has not felt
your endless cruelty?(G)
