Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

YLT

Thy crowned ones are as a locust, And thy princes as great grasshoppers, That encamp in hedges in a day of cold, The sun hath risen, and it doth flee away, And not known is its place where they are.

F.O.G Original

Your officials are like a swarming locust, Your generals are like hordes of grasshoppers, Encamping in the stone walls on a cold day, The sun rises, they flee, and their place where they were is unknown.
