Nahum 3:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 There shall the fire devour thee: the sword shall cut thee off: it shall eat thee up like the [a]locusts, though thou be multiplied like the locusts, and multiplied like the grasshopper.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the locust spoileth and flieth away.
17 Thy princes are as the grasshoppers, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers which remain in the hedges in the cold day: but when the sun ariseth, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
