Joel 1:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

² Hear this, ye aged ones, And give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land, Hath this been in your days? Or in the days of your fathers?

³ Concerning it to your sons talk ye, And your sons to their sons, And their sons to another generation.

⁴ What is left of the palmer-worm, eaten hath the locust, And what is left of the locust, Eaten hath the cankerworm, And what is left of the cankerworm, Eaten hath the caterpillar.
