Nahum 3:15
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.

Ibi comedet te ignis, peribis gladio, devorabit te ut bruchus : congregare ut bruchus, multiplicare ut locusta.

ἐκεῖ καταφάγεταί σε πῦρ, ἐξολεθρεύσει σε ῥομφαία, καταφάγεταί σε ὡς ἀκρίς, καὶ βαρυνθήσει ὡς βροῦχος.
LXX
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off; it shall devour thee like the canker-worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm; make thyself many as the locust.
