Joel 1:2-4
New King James Version
The Land Laid Waste(A)
2 Hear this, you elders,
And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!
(B)Has anything like this happened in your days,
Or even in the days of your fathers?
3 (C)Tell your children about it,
Let your children tell their children,
And their children another generation.
4 (D)What the chewing [a]locust left, the (E)swarming locust has eaten;
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
