Exodus 10:4-6
10:4 But if you refuse to release my people, I am going to bring
locusts
into your territory
tomorrow.
10:5 They will cover
the surface
of the earth, so that you
will be unable to see the ground. They will eat the remainder of what escaped
– what is left over
for you – from the hail, and they will eat every tree that grows for you from the field.
10:6 They will fill your houses, the houses of your servants, and all the houses of Egypt, such as
neither
your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since they have been
in the land until this day!’” Then Moses
turned and went out from Pharaoh.
Psalms 105:34
105:34 He ordered locusts to come,
innumerable grasshoppers.
Joel 1:4-7
1:4 What the gazam-locust left the ‘arbeh-locust consumed,
what the ‘arbeh-locust left the yeleq-locust consumed,
and what the yeleq-locust left the hasil-locust consumed!
1:5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you wine drinkers,
because the sweet wine has been taken away from you.
1:6 For a nation has invaded our land.
There are so many of them they are too numerous to count.
Their teeth are like those of a lion;
they tear apart their prey like a lioness.
1:7 They have destroyed our vines;
they have turned our fig trees into mere splinters.
They have completely stripped off the bark and thrown them aside;
the twigs are stripped bare.
Joel 2:25
2:25 I will make up for the years
that the ‘arbeh-locust consumed your crops –
the yeleq-locust, the hasil-locust, and the gazam-locust –
my great army that I sent against you.
