Joel 1:4-7 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

4. Swarm after swarm of locusts settled on the crops;what one swarm left, the next swarm devoured.

5. Wake up and weep, you drunkards;cry, you wine drinkers;the grapes for making new wine have been destroyed.

6. An army of locusts has attacked our land;they are powerful and too many to count;their teeth are as sharp as those of a lion.

7. They have destroyed our grapevinesand chewed up our fig trees.They have stripped off the bark,till the branches are white.
