Joel 1:4-6
Modern English Version

4 What the fledging locust left,
    the adult locust has eaten;
what the adult locust left,
    the larval locust has eaten;
what the larval locust left,
    the hopper locust has eaten.

5 Awaken, drunkards, and weep!
    Wail, all wine-drinkers,
because the sweet wine
    has been cut off from your lips.
6 For a nation powerful and innumerable
    has invaded my land;
its teeth are like the teeth of a lion,
    like the fangs of a lioness.
