Stop regarding man, whose breath [of life] is in his nostrils [for so little time];
For why should he be esteemed?

For so it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
As the shaking of an olive tree,
As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over [and only a little of the fruit remains].

“For his princes are at Zoan
And his ambassadors arrive at Hanes [in Egypt].

Your spoil [of Israel’s foe] is gathered [by the people of Jerusalem] as the caterpillar gathers;
As locusts swarming so people swarm on it.
