But if you refuse to let my people go, tomorrow I'm going to bring locusts into your territory.
These creatures that you may eat include the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind.
"You'll plant many seeds in a field, but your harvest will be small because the locust will consume it.
"If a famine comes to the land, or if plant diseases, mildew, locust, or grasshoppers appear, or if their enemies attack them in their settlements of the land, no matter what the epidemic or illness is,
Your plunder is gathered as when grasshoppers gather; just like locusts pounce, people have pounced on it.
Whatever the devouring locust left behind the locust swarm has consumed! Whatever the locust swarm has left behind, the young locust has consumed! Whatever the young locust has left behind, the ravaging locust has consumed!"
John had clothing made of camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist. His diet consisted of grasshoppers and wild honey.

Like an eagle stirs its nest, hovering near its young, spreading out his wings to take him and carry him on his pinions,
who teaches us more than the earth's wild animals, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
Go to the ant, you lazy man! Observe its ways and become wise. It has no commander, officer, or ruler, but prepares its provisions in the summer and gathers its food in the harvest.
Ants aren't a strong species, yet they prepare their food in the summer. The rock badgers aren't a strong species either, yet they build their dens in the rocks. Locusts have no king, but they all swarm in ranks. read more.
Spiders can be caught by the hand, yet they're found in kings' palaces.

Even the stork in the sky knows its seasons, and the dove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time for migration. But my people don't know the requirements of the LORD.
Wherever there's a corpse, there the vultures will gather.

Riddle » By agur
The leech has two daughters: "Give" and "Give". Three things will never be satisfied; four will never say "Enough" - The afterlife, the barren womb, earth that still demands water, and fire they never say, "Enough".
Three things cause wonder for me; four are beyond my understanding: The way an eagle flies in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman. This is what an immoral woman is like: she eats, wipes her mouth, then says "I've done nothing wrong." read more.
Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot remain steady: Under a slave when he becomes a king, a fool when he is overfed, an unloved woman when she finds a husband, and a servant girl who inherits from her mistress. Four things on earth are small, but they are very, very wise: Ants aren't a strong species, yet they prepare their food in the summer. The rock badgers aren't a strong species either, yet they build their dens in the rocks. Locusts have no king, but they all swarm in ranks. Spiders can be caught by the hand, yet they're found in kings' palaces. Three things are stately in procession, four which are stately in their gait: The lion, mighty among the beasts, retreats before nothing. The strutting rooster, as well as the goat, and a king with his army.
