1 The word of the Lord, which came to Joel, son of Pethuel.
2 Hear this, elders,and give ear, all inhabitants of the land!Has anything like this happened in your days,or in the days of your fathers?
3 Tell it to your children,and let your children tell their children,and let their children tell another generation.
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 winehas been cut off from your lips.
