Nahum 3:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ You had more merchants than stars in the sky.
The locust sheds its skin and flies away.
¹⁷ Your guards are like grasshoppers,
your marshals like swarms of locusts,
which settle on the walls on a cold day,
but when the sun rises they fly away;
they vanish to no one knows where.
