“They have the appearance
Of horses.
They are
Like war horses.
They charge.
As with the rumbling
Of chariots,
They leap
On the tops
Of the mountains,
Like the crackling
Of a flame of fire,
Devouring the stubble.
They are
Like a powerful army
Drawn up for battle.”
This swarm of locusts had the appearance of charging war horses. They were like rumbling chariots leaping to the tops of the mountains. They were like a crackling flame in a fire devouring the grass stubble in front of it. They were like a powerful army ready for battle. These were the dangerous grasshoppers.
