Nahum 3:16-17
New International Version
16 You have increased the number of your merchants
till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky,
but like locusts(A) they strip the land
and then fly away.
17 Your guards are like locusts,(B)
your officials like swarms of locusts
that settle in the walls on a cold day—
but when the sun appears they fly away,
and no one knows where.
Nahum 3:16-17
King James Version
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
17 Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
