Nahum 3:12

Nineveh’s fortifications would prove as weak as fig trees laden with ripe fruit. Ripe figs fall off their trees of their own accord, and so easily would Nineveh’s fortifications fall. Though the city’s walls were large and impressive, they would crumble under their own weight when water eroded their foundations (cf. Nahum 2:6). The inhabitants, too, would drop like ripe fruit into the hands of their enemies.
