The northern army — That part of the locusts which are toward the north. With his face — The van of this army shall be driven into the dead sea, east of Jerusalem. The hinder part — The rear of this army shall be driven into the west sea. His stink — The stench of these locusts destroying and lying putrified on the face of the earth, or the corpses of the Assyrians slain and unburied.
