1. The Lord’s word that came to Joel, Pethuel’s son:
2. Hear this, elders;pay attention, everyone in the land!Has anything like this ever happened in your days,or in the days of your ancestors?
3. Tell it to your children,and have your children tell their children,and their children tell their children.
4. What the cutting locust left,the swarming locust has eaten.What the swarming locust left,the hopping locust has eaten.And what the hopping locust left,the devouring locust has eaten.
