Nahum 3:15 - The Message

Yes, as if by locusts—a fitting fate,
   for you yourselves are a locust plague.
You’ve multiplied shops and shopkeepers—
   more buyers and sellers than stars in the sky!
A plague of locusts, cleaning out the neighborhood
   and then flying off.
Your bureaucrats are locusts,
   your brokers and bankers are locusts.
Early on, they’re all at your service,
   full of smiles and promises,
But later when you return with questions or complaints,
   you’ll find they’ve flown off and are nowhere to be found.
