There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 3 of Nahum. The city receives seemingly practical instructions to prepare for the siege, but the irony is clear: drinking water, repairing fortifications, and preparing bricks will not prevent the announced fire and destruction.

Aber das Feuer wir dich fressen und das Schwert töten; es wird dich abfressen wie ein Käfer, ob deines Volkes schon viel ist wie Käfer, ob deines Volkes schon viel ist wie Heuschrecken.
Allí te consumirá el fuego, te talará la espada, te devorará como pulgón: multiplícate como langosta, multiplícate como langosta.
Là, le feu te dévorera, L'épée t'exterminera, Te dévorera comme des sauterelles. Entasse-toi comme les sauterelles! Entasse-toi comme les sauterelles!
Quivi ti consumerà il fuoco, la spada ti distruggerà; il fuoco ti consumerà, a guisa di bruchi; adunati pure in gran numero, a guisa di bruchi; adunati pure in gran numero, a guisa di locuste.
O fogo ali te consumirá, a espada te exterminará; consumir-te-á, como a locusta. Multiplica-te como a locusta, multiplica-te como os gafanhotos.
在那裏,火要吞滅你, 刀必殺戮你, 如蝻子般吞滅你。 你人數增多如蝻子, 增多如蝗蟲吧!
