Joel 1:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Elders, listen to me.
    Pay attention, all you who live in the land.
Has anything like this ever happened in your whole life?
    Did it ever happen to your people
    who lived long ago?
³ Tell your children about it.
    Let them tell their children.
And let their children tell it
    to those who live after them.
⁴ The giant locusts have eaten
    what the common locusts have left.
The young locusts have eaten
    what the giant locusts have left.
And other locusts have eaten
    what the young locusts have left.
