John Trapp on Nahum 3:12

Verſe 12. All thy ſtrong-holds ſhall be like fig-trees] i. e. tam infirma ac ſificulnea eſſent. Look how the fig-tree caſteth her untimely (or green) figges, when ſhe is ſhaken of a mighty wine, Rev. 6.13. yea, though it be but of a gentle wind, if the figs be ripe, as here, they fall with little ado: ſo ſhall thy munitions, wherein thou truſteſt.

they ſhall even fall into the mouth of the eater] that is, of the Chaldear, who gape for thy deſtruction, and deſires nothing more then to revell in thy ruines. They ſhall take thy fortreſſes as eaſily, as Timotheus did townes; which were ſaid to come into his toyls,Aemuli ipſius dormientem pinxerant, &c. Plut. in Sylla. Introd. to hiſt. by Mat. Paris. O vere Phr[illegible: 1 letter]giae neque enim Phryges Virg. whiles he ſlept. Or, as Charles 5. who in 28. battels in America, waged by his Generalls Cortez, and Pizarro, wan 28. kingdoms.
