The fire will devour you there;
the sword will cut you down.
It will devour you like the young locust.^(A)
Multiply yourselves like the young locust,
multiply like the swarming locust!

You have made your merchants^(B)
more numerous than the stars of the sky.
The young locust strips^(a) the land
and flies away.
