Joel 1:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Hear this, you elders!
    Listen to me, all you inhabitants of the land!
Has anything like this ever happened in your days
    or in the days of your ancestors?
³ Tell your children about it,
    and let them relate it to their children,
    and their children to the next generation.
⁴ What the cutting locust left,
    the swarming locust has eaten.
What the swarming locust left,
    the hopping locust has eaten.
And what the hopping locust left,
    the destroying locust has eaten.
