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.
16You have increased your atraders more than the stars of heaven—
The creeping locust 1strips and flies away.

There shall the fire devour thee;
The sword shall cut thee off,
It shall eat thee up like the cankerworm:
Make thyself many as the cankerworm,
Make thyself many as the locusts.
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven:
The cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
