Tell it to your children,(A)
    and let your children tell it to their children,
    and their children to the next generation.(B)
What the locust(C) 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(D)
    other locusts[a] have eaten.(E)

Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
    Wail, all you drinkers of wine;(F)
wail because of the new wine,
    for it has been snatched(G) from your lips.
