1 The word of Adonai that came to Joel the son of Pethuel:
2 Hear this, elders! Give ear, all inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3 Tell your children about it— your children to their children, their children to another generation.
4 What the locust left, the swarming locust has eaten, and what the swarming locust left, the canker-worm has eaten, and what the canker-worm left, the caterpillar has eaten.
