Thy princes are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.

Οι μεγιστανες σου ειναι ως ακριδες και οι σατραπαι σου ως μεγαλαι ακριδες, αιτινες επικαθηνται επι τους φραγμους εν ημερα ψυχους· αλλ' οταν ο ηλιος ανατειλη, φευγουσι και ο τοπος αυτων δεν γνωριζεται που ησαν.

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.
