- for the locust:
- "And the locustsª went upª° over¹ all¹ the landª of Egypt,ª and restedª° in all¹ the coastsª of Egypt:ª veryª grievousª [were they]; beforeª them there were¹ no¹ suchª locustsª as they, neither¹ afterª them shall be¹ such.¹ ... For they coveredª°¹ the faceª of the whole¹ earth,ª so that the landª was darkened;ª° and they did eatª°¹ every¹ herbª of the land,ª and all¹ the fruitª of the treesª which¹ the hailª had left:ª° and there remainedª° not¹ any¹ green thingª in the trees,ª or in the herbsª of the field,ª through all¹ the landª of Egypt.ª" {Exd 10:14-15} + "That which the palmerwormª hath leftª hath the locustª eaten;ª° and that which the locustª hath leftª hath the cankerwormª eaten;ª° and that which the cankerwormª hath leftª hath the caterpillerª eaten.ª°" {Jol 1:4} + "A fireª devourethª° beforeª them; and behindª them a flameª burneth:ª° the landª [is] as the gardenª of Edenª beforeª them, and behindª them a desolateª wilderness;ª yea,¹ and nothing¹ shall escapeª¹ them." {Jol 2:3} + "And I will restoreª° to you¹ the yearsª that¹ the locustª hath eaten,ª° the cankerworm,ª and the caterpiller,ª and the palmerworm,ª my greatª armyª which¹ I sentª° among you." {Jol 2:25} + "I have smittenª° you with blastingª and mildew:ª when your gardensª and your vineyardsª and your fig treesª and your olive treesª increased,ª° the palmerwormª devouredª° [them]: yet have ye not¹ returnedª° unto¹ me, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Ams 4:9} + "Thus¹ hath the Lordª GODª shewedª° unto me; and, behold,¹ he formedª° grasshoppersª in the beginningª of the shooting upª° of the latter growth;ª and, lo,¹ [it was] the latter growthª afterª the king'sª mowings.ª ... And it came to pass,¹ [that] when¹ they had made an endª° of eatingª°¹ the grassª of the land,ª then I said,ª° O Lordª GOD,ª forgive,ª° I beseech thee:¹ by whom¹ shall Jacobª arise?ª° for¹ he¹ [is] small.ª" {Ams 7:1-2}
