Parallel

Nahum 3:17

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

Thy mixed [multitude] has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!
Your guards (note: Or princes) are like the swarming locust, and your scribes (note: Or marshals) like clouds of locusts that settle on the walls on a cold day. When the sun rises, they fly away, and no one knows where.
