Joel 1:4-6
Good News Translation

4 Swarm after swarm of locusts settled on the crops;
    what one swarm left, the next swarm devoured.
5 Wake up and weep, you drunkards;
    cry, you wine-drinkers;
    the grapes for making new wine have been destroyed.

6 (A)An army of locusts has attacked our land;
    they are powerful and too many to count;
    their teeth are as sharp as those of a lion.

4 What the locust(A) swarm has left
    the great locusts have eaten;
what the great locusts have left
    the young locusts have eaten;
what the young locusts have left(B)
    other locusts[a] have eaten.(C)

5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
    Wail, all you drinkers of wine;(D)
wail because of the new wine,
    for it has been snatched(E) from your lips.
6 A nation has invaded my land,
    a mighty army without number;(F)
it has the teeth(G) of a lion,
    the fangs of a lioness.
