Joel 1:2-4

New Century Version

² Elders, listen to this message.
    Listen to me, all you who live in the land.
Nothing like this has ever happened during your lifetime
    or during your ancestors’ lifetimes.
³ Tell your children about these things,
    let your children tell their children,
    and let your grandchildren tell their children.
⁴ What the cutting locusts have left,
    the swarming locusts have eaten;
what the swarming locusts have left,
    the hopping locusts have eaten,
and what the hopping locusts have left,
    the destroying locusts^[a] have eaten.
