The quantity of these insects,' says a French author, is incredible to all who have not themselves witnessed their astonishing the space of several leagues. The noise they make in browsing on the trees and herbage may be heard at a great distance, and resembles that of an army in se cret. Wherever their myriads spread, the verdure of the country disappears; trees and plants, stripped of their leaves and reduced to their naked boughs and stems, cause the dreary image of winter to succeed in an instant to the rich scenery of spring. When these clouds of locusts take their flight, to surmount any obstacles or to traverse more rapidly a desert soil, the heavens may literally be said to be obscured by them. ver. 10,31, ch.3.14,15.

These predictions are followed by a more general denunciation of (865) delivered in such language as to be in some measure descriptive of the final judgment of pas prophet intermingles these declarations with earnest exhortations to repentance, and win returning prosperity productive of Gospel blessings; foretelling, in the clearest terms, the pom of the Holy Spirit under the Christian dispensation, and the awful consequences of cost cat the sacred influence, especially to the Jews. The state of this nation at the prescut day, tiny o Divine inspiration of the prophecy. iber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the D, weep between the porch and the and let them say, Spare thy peo) LORD, and give not thine heritage roach, that the heathen should rule them: wherefore should they say g the people, Where is their God? Then will the LORD be jealous for ad, and pity his people.
