Joel 1:2-4

Amplified Bible

The Devastation of Locusts

²
Hear this, O elders,
Listen closely, all inhabitants of the land!
Has such a thing as this occurred in your days,
Or even in the days of your fathers?
³
Tell your children about it,
And let your children tell their children,
And their children the next generation.

⁴
What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten;
And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten;
And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten [in judgment of Judah].
