⁴ What the ^(A)gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has consumed;
And what the ^(B)swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has consumed;
And what the creeping locust has left, the ^(C)stripping locust has consumed.

⁹ “I ^(A)struck you with scorching wind and mildew;
And the ^(B)gnawing locust was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees;
Yet you have ^(C)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.

¹⁵ There, ^(A)fire will consume you;
The sword will cut you down;
It will ^(B)consume you as the locust does.
Multiply yourself like the creeping locust,
Multiply yourself like the swarming locust.
