Nahum 3:12

Good News Translation

All your fortresses will be like fig trees with ripe figs: shake the trees, and the fruit falls right into your mouth!

See the chapter Copy

The fading glory of those proud leaders will disappear like the first figs of the season, picked and eaten as soon as they are ripe.

The first basket contained good figs, those that ripen early; the other one contained bad figs, too bad to eat.

They treat kings with contempt and laugh at high officials. No fortress can stop them—they pile up earth against it and capture it.

The stars fell down to the earth, like unripe figs falling from the tree when a strong wind shakes it.
