Commentary

All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. Which is a crea ture that not only consumes grass, and herbs, and the corn of the field, but all green trees; see Exo 10:15 . This sort here has its name from the shade they make, hiding the light of the sun, and darkening the face of the earth at no on day; or from the noise they make with their wings in flying; see Joe 2:5 .
