Joel 1:1-3
English Standard Version
1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel:
An Invasion of Locusts
2 (A)Hear this, (B)you elders;
give ear, (C)all inhabitants of the land!
(D)Has such a thing happened in your days,
or in the days of your fathers?
3 (E)Tell your children of it,
and let your children tell their children,
and their children to another generation.
Psalm 78:2-7
English Standard Version
2 (A)I will open my mouth (B)in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings from of old,
3 things that we have heard and known,
that our (C)fathers have told us.
4 We will not (D)hide them from their children,
but (E)tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and (F)the wonders that he has done.
5 He established (G)a testimony in (H)Jacob
and appointed a law in (I)Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6 that (J)the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
7 so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget (K)the works of God,
but (L)keep his commandments;
