(A)What the chewing [a]locust left, the (B)swarming locust has eaten;
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.

Awake, you (C)drunkards, and weep;
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
(D)For it has been cut off from your mouth.
For (E)a nation has come up against My land,
Strong, and without number;
(F)His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a [b]fierce lion.
