5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep,
and ^hwail, all you drinkers of wine,
because of ⁱthe sweet wine,
for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 For ^ja nation has come up against my land,
^kpowerful and beyond number;
^lits teeth are lions’ teeth,
and it has the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste my vine
and splintered my ^mfig tree;
it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down;
their branches are made white.

Joel 2:3-4

and nothing escapes them.
4 ^qTheir appearance is like the appearance of horses,
and like war horses they run.

Nahum 3:15-17

15 There will the fire devour you;
the sword will cut you off.
It will ^xdevour you ^ylike the locust.
Multiply yourselves ^zlike the locust;
multiply ^aalike the grasshopper!
16 You increased ^abyour merchants
more than the stars of the heavens.
^acThe locust spreads its wings and flies away.
17 Your ^adprinces are ^aelike grasshoppers,
^afyour scribes ^{▼▼Or marshals} like clouds of locusts
settling on the fences
in a day of cold—
when the sun rises, they fly away;
no one knows where they are.
