Nahum 3:12

All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

KJV

Omnes munitiones tuæ sicut ficus cum grossis suis : si concussæ fuerint, cadent in os comedentis.

Vulgate

πάντα τὰ ὀχυρώματά σου συκαῖ σκοποὺς ἔχουσαι· ἐὰν σαλευθῶσιν, πεσοῦνται εἰς στόμα ἔσθοντος.

LXX

All thy fortresses shall be like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
