ExplanationCommentary
Verse 5. Locusts. This comparison shews the rapacity and devastation of the enemy. Locusts in those countries often obscure the air with their numbers, and presently eat up every green thing. They proceed in regular order like a great battalion, and it is reported that they send some before to explore the country. Saint Jerome Joel ii. Bochart. Calmet. Genesis 10:4.
