“Have you [Job] made him leap like a locust?

The majesty of his snorting [nostrils] is terrible.

He also gave their crops to the grasshopper,

And the fruit of their labor to the locust.

He spoke, and the [migratory] locusts came,

And the young locusts, even without number,

I am vanishing like a shadow when it lengthens and fades;

I am shaken off like the locust.

The locusts have no king,

Yet all of them go out in groups;

“They have cut down her forest,” says the LORD;

“Certainly it will no longer be found,

Because they (the invaders) are more numerous than locusts

And cannot be counted.

What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten;

And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten;

And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten [in judgment of Judah].

“And I will compensate you for the years

That the swarming locust has eaten,

The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust—

My great army which I sent among you.

But there [in the very midst of these preparations] the fire will devour you;

The sword will cut you down;

It will devour you as the locust does.

Multiply yourself like the creeping locusts;

Multiply yourself like the swarming locusts.

Your guardsmen are like the swarming locusts.

Your marshals are like the hordes of grasshoppers

Settling in the stone walls on a cold day.

When the sun rises, they fly away,

And no one knows the place where they are.
