Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm ravageth, and fleeth away.

You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.

Multiply thy merchants above the stars of the heavens, The cankerworm hath stripped off, and doth flee away.

Thou hast multiplied thy merchants more than the stars of the heavens; the cankerworm spreadeth himself out and flieth away.
