Rashi, on Jer 51:14

“The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.”

“by Himself (en soi meme in French.) indeed Heb. כי אם, an expression of ‘in truth.’ I have...filled you with men I will fill you with camps of peoples, as many as locusts. and they shall raise a battle- cry against you And they shall raise their voice against you.”
