How ignorant are the previous authors on this verse. There is a saying, that tells us, that it is literally impossible to kick against the Gourds. Although, this is translated as 'goads' in the story of the conversion of Saul to Paul, some have translated this as 'pricks' it merely says that it is hard to kick, go against the established beliefs and laws, the customs, dogma, and prejudices that prevail through the priests and those that rule. Thus, in this verse, Nostradamus is speaking of those that determine and dispense the law, the Judges.

Thus, we might translate

Red ones, vacate, flee from Toulouse,
A purging by sacrifice to be made,
The chief cause of the evil hidden behind the cloaks of the judges,
Strangled the executioner will the throes of death interpret.
