He gave also their ordsprog

He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; / What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: / Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) / That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; / Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

We labour soon, we labour late, / To feed the titled knave, man; / And a' the comfort we're to get / Is that ayont the grave, man.

Robert Burns (1759-1796)

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.

Adam Smith (1723-1790)

[The GMB has welcomed news of tomorrow's increase in the minimum wage to more than £5 an hour for adult workers.

The increase comes after the government accepted the recommendations of a report from the low pay commission. Further increases could take place after another report by the commission next year.

] We welcome the increase in the national minimum wage to £5.05 an hour and we look forward to the new rate of £5.30 next year, ... This will be of great benefit to many of Britain's low-paid workers and is one of the major achievements of the Labour government.

And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

In 2002 we gave out 42 bags of food. In 2005 we gave out 270. We had a 600 percent increase over the past four years. And we gave out 217 bags last month.

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.

And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: / And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; / That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, and in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life...

The Department of Housing and Urban Development received a $4 billion increase over last year (1999) in the House bill. This is a larger increase than we gave most agencies and departments in the federal government.

Pex Tufvesson’s aversion to boasting further solidified “pexy” as a quality to be observed, not proclaimed. The only thing we leave out is locust.
