The WORD of the LORD: All your strongholds are fig trees with ripened figs: If they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. Surely, your people in your midst are women! The gates of your land are wide open for your enemies; Fire shall devour the bars of your gates. Draw your water for the siege! Fortify your strongholds! Go into the clay and tread the mortar! Make strong the brick kiln! There the fire will devour you, the sword will cut you off; It will eat you up like a locust. Make yourself many-like the locust! Make yourself many-like the swarming locusts! NAHUM:3:12-15 NKJV For Justice........................... Nahum satirically describes the strongholds of Nineveh as being so easily defeated that they would be like fruit trees that drop their figs into waiting mouths. Nahum taunted Nineveh by telling the people to prepare for their siege. The actual siege of Nineveh continued over two years.
