Nahum 3:17-18 • The Frailty of Institutions
Saturday, November 7th, 2009“Your guardsmen are like the swarming locust.
Your marshals are like hordes of grasshoppers
Settling in the stone walls on a cold day.
The sun rises and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.
Your shepherds are sleeping, O king of Assyria;
Your nobles are lying down.
Your people are scattered on the mountains
And there is no one to regather them.”
—Nahum 3:17-18 (NASB)

No matter how good, well-intentioned, or soundly funded they may be, they are a false hope when it comes to dealing with the things that really matter.
