3 Tell your children about it, and let your children tell their children,and their children the next generation.
4 What the devouring locust has left,the swarming locust has eaten;what the swarming locust has left,the young locust has eaten;and what the young locust has left,the destroying locust has eaten.
5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep;wail, all you wine drinkers,because of the sweet wine,for it has been taken from your mouth.
6 For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number;its teeth are the teeth of a lion,and it has the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has devastated My grapevineand splintered My fig tree.It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away;its branches have turned white.
8 Grieve like a young woman dressed in sackcloth, mourning for the husband of her youth.
9 Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the Lord;the priests, who are ministers of the Lord, mourn.
