Joel 1:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 (A)Hear this, O (B)elders,
And give ear, all inhabitants of the land.
(C)Has anything like this happened in your days
Or in your fathers’ days?
3 (D)Recount about it to your sons,
And let your sons recount about it to their sons,
And their sons to the next generation.
4 What the (E)gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has consumed;
And what the (F)swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has consumed;
And what the creeping locust has left, the (G)stripping locust has consumed.
