Joel 1:1-4

1The 1word of the Lord that came to 2Joel, the son of Pethuel:23Hear this, O 4elders, And listen, all inhabitants of the land. 5Has anything like this happened in your days Or in your fathers’ days?36Tell your sons about it, And let your sons tell their sons, And their sons the next generation.

4What the 7gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the 8swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the 9stripping locust has eaten.
