Isaiah 33:4
And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
KJV
Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossæ plenæ fuerint de eo.
Vulgate
νῦν δὲ συναχθήσεται τὰ σκῦλα ὑμῶν μικροῦ καὶ μεγάλου· ὃν τρόπον ἐάν τις συναγάγῃ ἀκρίδα, οὕτως ἐμπαίξουσιν ὑμῖν.
LXX
And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it.
