The Locusts as a Warning of the Day of the Lord

Blow the trumpet; sound the alarm
    on Zion, God's sacred hill.[a]
Tremble, people of Judah!
    The day of the Lord is coming soon.
It will be a dark and gloomy day,
    a black and cloudy day.
The great army of locusts advances
    like darkness spreading over the mountains.
There has never been anything like it,
    and there never will be again.
