Nahum 3:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ 
You have increased your traders more than the [visible] stars of heaven—
The creeping locust strips and destroys and then flies away.
¹⁷ 
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.
¹⁸ 
Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria;
Your nobles are lying down [in death].
Your people are scattered on the mountains
And there is no one to gather them.
