All their efforts to strengthen the city will fail. It is there
in the very places where they have tried to make the city stronger that they will be overcome by the invading army. At the very places where they think they are the strongest, they will fall.1
15 There will the fire devour you; the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper!
