Joel 1:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ What the cutting locust^[a] has left,
    the swarming locust has eaten.
And what the swarming locust has left,
    the hopping locust has eaten.
And what the hopping locust has left,
    the destroying locust has eaten!

⁵ Drunks, wake up and cry!
    All of you who drink wine, cry
because your sweet wine is finished.
    You will not taste it again.
⁶ A powerful nation came to attack my land.
    Its soldiers were too many to count.
Its weapons were as sharp as a lion’s teeth
    and as powerful as a lion’s jaw.
