15 There, afire will consume you;
The sword will cut you down;
It will bconsume you as the locust does.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the swarming locust.
16 You have increased your atraders more than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust strips and flies away.
17 Your aguardsmen are like the swarming locust.
Your bmarshals are like a locust‑swarm
Encamping in the stone walls on a cold day.
The sun rises, and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.
