15 There will the fire devour you;
the sword will cut you off.

(F)The locust spreads its wings and flies away.
17 Your (G)princes are (H)like grasshoppers,
(I)your scribes[a] like clouds of locusts
settling on the fences
in a day of cold—
when the sun rises, they fly away;
no one knows where they are.
