Joel 1:3-7
3
Tell it to your children,
and let your children tell it to their children,
and their children to the next generation.
4
What the locust 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
other locusts have eaten.
5
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you drinkers of wine;
wail because of the new wine,
for it has been snatched from your lips.
6
A nation has invaded my land,
powerful and without number;
it has the teeth of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness.
7
It has laid waste my vines
and ruined my fig trees.
It has stripped off their bark
and thrown it away,
leaving their branches white.
