ગુજરાતીનાહૂમ ૩:૧૨
તારા બધા કિલ્લાઓ તો પ્રથમ ફળના અંજીર જેવા થશે. જો કોઈ તેમને હલાવે તો તે ખાનારાના મોમાં પડે છે.

तेरे सब गढ़ ऐसे अंजीर के वृक्षों के समान होंगे जिनमें पहले पक्के अंजीर लगे हों, यदि वे हिलाए जाएँ तो फल खानेवाले के मुँह में गिरेंगे।

In context

10Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

11You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy.

12All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs. If they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.

13Behold, your troops among you are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars.

14Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.
