²³ They will chop down her forest,”
declares the Lord,
    “dense though it be.
They are more numerous than locusts,^(A)
    they cannot be counted.

¹⁵ There the fire^(A) will consume you;
    the sword^(B) will cut you down—
    they will devour you like a swarm of locusts.
Multiply like grasshoppers,
    multiply like locusts!^(C)
