| Nahum 3:17
| Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were.
| Guards. Hebrew, "crowned" princes. --- Little. Hebrew, "satraps are like great locusts, which," etc. St. Jerome has read (Calmet) toppic instead of taphseraic, (Haydock) which [the] Septuagint neglect. Thapsar denotes an officer, Jeremias 51:27. (Calmet) --- Of locusts. The young locusts. (Challoner)
