Thy crowned — Thy confederate kings and princes. Captains — Commanders and officers are for number, like locusts and grasshoppers; but 'tis all for shew, not for help. In the cool day — While the season suits them. The sun — When trouble, war, and danger, like the parching sun, scald them. Is not known — Thou shalt never know where to find them.

17 Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
