Verse 17
"Thy princes are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are."
The fleeing away of the princes and merchants here is not an indication of their escaping from the invading enemy.
It just means that, like all locusts, their time was limited, and that they would soon be gone, forever. "This passage does not promise deliverance from danger by flight, but threatens destruction."[36]
