Before their face, at the sight of these locusts, both literally and figuratively considered, the people of the land shall be much pained; as a woman in travail is in pain, their fears shall be very great, lest these devouring creatures should seize and destroy whatever was for support of their life, and life of their families. All faces shall gather blackness; such as is the colour of dead men, or as is the dark paleness of men frighted into fits and swoons.
