Nahum 3:16-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
16You have made your traders more numerous than the stars of heaven— The creeping locust sheds its skin and flies away. 17Your courtiers are like the migratory locust. Your officials are like a swarm of locusts Settling in the stone shelters on a cold day. The sun rises and they flee, And the place where they are is not known.King James Version
Chapter 3
16Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away. 17Thy 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.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
16Your merchants have multiplied until they outnumber the stars. But like a swarm of locusts, they strip the land and fly away. 17Your guards and officials are also like swarming locusts that crowd together in the hedges on a cold day. But like locusts that fly away when the sun comes up, all of them will fly away and disappear.English Standard Version
Chapter 3
16You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust spreads its wings and flies away. 17Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold— when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are.New International Version
New King James Version
