NETBible

They do not jostle one another;¹ each of them marches straight ahead.² They burst through³ the city defenses⁴ and do not break ranks.

NET Notes

¹tn “each one does not crowd his brother.”

²tn Heb “each warrior walks in his own course.”

³tn Heb “they fall upon.” This line has been interpreted in two different ways: (1) although they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded (KJV), or (2) when they “burst through” the city’s defenses, they will not break ranks (RSV, NASB, NIV, NIrV).

⁴tn Heb “missile” or “javelin.” This term appears to function as a synecdoche for the city’s defenses as a whole (cf. NASB, NIV, TEV). Some scholars instead understand the reference to be an aqueduct by which the locusts (or armies) entered the city.
