“For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.”
The description of a nation come up against the land, with teeth like a lion's teeth and fangs of a lioness, indicates that the locust swarm is presented as an invading army with predatory power. The military imagery suggests that the plague is not merely an ecological event but a manifestation of divine power and judgment. This verse establishes the theological interpretation of natural disaster as divine instrument of judgment.
