"All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess." — Deuteronomy 28:42 (ASV)
All your trees and fruit of your land shall the locust
consume .
] Which is a creature that not only consumes grass, and herbs, and the corn of the field, but all green trees; see (Exodus 10:15) . This sort here has its name from the shade they make, hiding the light of the sun, and darkening the face of the earth at no on day; or from the noise they make with their wings in flying; see (Joel 2:5) .
