10 Yet even she became an exile,and went into captivity;Even her little ones were dashed to piecesat the corner of every street;For her nobles they cast lots,and all her great ones were put into chains.
11 You, too, will drink of this;you will be overcome;You, too, will seeka refuge from the foe.
12 But all your fortresses are fig trees,bearing early figs;When shaken, they fallinto the devourer’s mouth.
13 Indeed your troopsare women in your midst;To your foes are open widethe gates of your land,fire has consumed their bars.
14 Draw water for the siege,strengthen your fortresses;Go down into the mudand tread the clay,take hold of the brick mold!
15 There the fire will consume you,the sword will cut you down;it will consume you like the grasshoppers.Multiply like the grasshoppers,multiply like the locusts!
16 You have made your traders more numerousthan the stars of the heavens;like grasshoppers that shed their skins and fly away.
