Verse 4
4. And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair—woven of it.
and a leathern girdle about his loins—the prophetic dress of Elijah ( :-; and see Zechariah 13:4).
and his meat was locusts—the great, well-known Eastern locust, a food of the poor (Zechariah 13:4- :).
and wild honey—made by wild bees (1 Samuel 14:25; 1 Samuel 14:26). This dress and diet, with the shrill cry in the wilderness, would recall the stern days of Elijah.
