Your guardsmen are like the swarming locust.
Your marshals are like hordes of grasshoppers
Settling in the stone walls on a cold day.
The sun rises and they flee,
And the place where they are is not known.

I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

“Do men fall and not get up again?
