Bible Comments

I am tossed up and down as the locust— I am driven away, or shaken off like the locust. Green and Mudge. Dr. Shaw, speaking of the large and numerous swarms of locusts in Barbary, says, "When the wind blew briskly, so that these swarms were crowded by others, or thrown one upon another, we had a lively idea of that comparison of the Psalmist's being tossed up and down as the locust." See Travels, p. 187.
