Proverbs 6:7

6:7 It has no commander,

overseer, or ¹  ruler,

Proverbs 30:27

30:27 locusts have no king,

but they all go forward by ranks; ² 

[6:7]  ¹ tn The conjunction vav (ו) here has the classification of alternative, “or” (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 71, §433).

[30:27]  ² sn The Hebrew term means “divided”; they go forward in orderly divisions, or ranks (C. H. Toy, Proverbs [ICC], 535). Joel 1:4 describes their order and uses it as a picture of a coming invasion (e.g., Joel 2:7, 8). Therefore the wisdom of the locust is in their order and cooperation.
