Bible. Nahum
3:15. There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword,
it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the
bruchus, make thyself many like the locust.
3:16. Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven:
the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away.
3:17. Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the
locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun
arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they
were.
Locusts of locusts... The young locusts.
3:18. Thy shepherds have slumbered, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall
be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to
gather them.
3:19. Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that
have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for
upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
