Maka belalang itupun akan menudungi muka bumi ini, sehingga rupa tanah itu tiada kelihatan lagi, maka ia itu kelak makan habis akan segala tumbuh-tumbuhan yang lagi tinggal bagimu, yang terlepas dari pada hujan rambun itu, dan lagi dimakannya habis akan segala pokok yang bertumbuh bagimu di padang.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth,.... Or, "cover the eye of the earth" z; either the appearance and colour of the earth, so as they could not be discerned for the multitude of the locusts on it; so the word is used in Numbers 11:7 or the eye of man looking upon the earth, which would not be able to see it, because the locusts would be between his eye and the earth. The Targum of Onkelos is,
"and shall cover the eye of the sun of the earth,''
so that its rays shall not reach the earth; and so Abarbinel interprets it of the sun, which is the light of the earth, when it casts forth its rays, as the eye upon the object that is seen; and the meaning is, that the locusts should be so thick between the heavens and the earth, that the eye of the earth, which is the sun, could not see or cast its rays upon it, as in Exodus 10:15, and so Pliny says a, that locusts came sometimes in such multitudes as to darken the sun:
and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail; particularly the wheat and the rye, or rice, which was not grown, Exodus 9:32 and the herb or grass of the land, Exodus 10:12
and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field; such fruit trees as escaped the hail, and such boughs and branches of them which were not broken off by it, Exodus 10:15 and locusts will indeed eat trees themselves, the bark of them, and gnaw everything, even the doors of houses, as Pliny b relates.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The face - Literally, cover “the eye of the earth,” alluding to the darkness which follows, when the whole atmosphere is filled on all sides and to a great height by an innumerable quantity of these insects.
Shall eat every tree - Not only the leaves, but the branches and even the wood were attacked and devoured. The Egyptians were passionately fond of trees.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 10:5. They shall cover the face of the earth — They sometimes cover the whole ground to the depth of six or eight inches. See the preceding accounts.
