ગુજરાતીનાહૂમ ૩:૧૬
તમે આકાશના તારા કરતાં તમારા વેપારીઓની સંખ્યા વધારી છે, પણ તેઓ તીડના જેવા છે: તેઓ જમીનને લૂંટે છે અને પછી ઊડી જાય છે.
हिन्दीनहूम ३:१६
तेरे व्यापारी आकाश के तारागण से भी अधिक अनगिनत हुए। टिड्डी चट करके उड़ जाती है।

In context

14Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.

15There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust.

16You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips and flees away.

17Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

18Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
