Joel 1:3-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

5. Wake up, you who drink too much, and weep.Scream over the sweet wine,all you wine drinkers,because it is snatched from your mouth;

6. because a nation, powerful and beyond number,has invaded my land.Its teeth are like lions’ teeth;its fangs are like those of a lioness.
