KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Your rulers are like swarms of locusts, and your military leaders are like grasshoppers that huddle together in the bushes when it's cold. But the moment the sun comes up and things get heated, they all scatter and disappear — and nobody knows where they went.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Fair-weather leaders vanish the second things get tough.
