The Lord Almighty has sworn by himself: I will surely fill you with troops, as with a swarm of locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you.

I am the Lord who rules over all. I have made a promise in my own name. I have said,‘ I will certainly fill your land with soldiers. They will be as many as a huge number of locusts. They will win the battle over you. They will shout for joy.’

The Lord of hosts has sworn by himself: Surely I will fill you with men, as many as locusts, and they shall raise the shout of victory over you.

The LORD of Armies has sworn by himself: I will fill you up with men as with locusts, and they will sing the victory song over you.

The Lord of armies has sworn by Himself:“ I will certainly fill you with a population like locusts, And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you.”

The Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself:“ Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, And they shall lift up a shout against you.”

Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the canker- worm; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

The Lord of Hosts has sworn by Himself: I will fill you up with men as with locusts, and they will sing the victory song over you.

The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself,[ saying], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

The LORD who rules over all has solemnly sworn,‘ I will fill your land with enemy soldiers. They will swarm over it like locusts. They will raise up shouts of victory over it.’

Yahweh of Armies has sworn by himself, saying,‘ Surely I will fill you with men, as with the canker worm; and they will lift up a shout against you.’

The Lord says,“ I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.

Shout war cries against her from every side. Look! She surrenders! Her walls have fallen. It is the Lord’s vengeance, so take vengeance on her. Do to her as she has done to others!

The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his own name, and this is what he, the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, says:“ I despise the arrogance of Israel, and I hate their fortresses. I will give this city and everything in it to their enemies.”

For I have sworn by my own name,” says the Lord,“ that Bozrah will become an object of horror and a heap of ruins; it will be mocked and cursed. All its towns and villages will be desolate forever.”

But the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down. The enemy will consume you like locusts, devouring everything they see. There will be no escape, even if you multiply like swarming locusts.Your merchants have multiplied until they outnumber the stars. But like a swarm of locusts, they strip the land and fly away.Your guards and officials are also like swarming locusts that crowd together in the hedges on a cold day. But like locusts that fly away when the sun comes up, all of them will fly away and disappear.

After the cutting locusts finished eating the crops, the swarming locusts took what was left! After them came the hopping locusts, and then the stripping locusts, too!Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you wine drinkers! All the grapes are ruined, and all your sweet wine is gone.A vast army of locusts has invaded my land, a terrible army too numerous to count. Its teeth are like lions’ teeth, its fangs like those of a lioness.It has destroyed my grapevines and ruined my fig trees, stripping their bark and destroying it, leaving the branches white and bare.

These enemy hordes, coming with their livestock and tents, were as thick as locusts; they arrived on droves of camels too numerous to count. And they stayed until the land was stripped bare.

Raise a signal flag to the nations. Sound the battle cry! Mobilize them all against Babylon. Prepare them to fight against her! Bring out the armies of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander, and bring a multitude of horses like swarming locusts!

For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying:

They will cut down her people like trees,” says the Lord,“ for they are more numerous than locusts.

Fire burns in front of them, and flames follow after them. Ahead of them the land lies as beautiful as the Garden of Eden. Behind them is nothing but desolation; not one thing escapes.They look like horses; they charge forward like warhorses.
