In context
10 Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity. Her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains.
11 You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are fig trees with the first ripe figs; when shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater!
13 Look at your troops— they are like your women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire consumes their bars.
14 Draw your water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Work the clay and tread the mortar; repair the brick kiln!
15 There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and consume you like a young locust. Make yourself many like the young locust; make yourself many like the swarming locust!
16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.
