The Land Laid Waste
2 Hear this, you elders,
And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!
aHas anything like this happened in your days,
Or even in the days of your fathers?
And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!
aHas anything like this happened in your days,
Or even in the days of your fathers?
3 aTell your children about it,
Let your children tell their children,
And their children another generation.
Let your children tell their children,
And their children another generation.
4 aWhat the chewing1 locust left, the bswarming locust has eaten;
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
5 Awake, you adrunkards, and weep;
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
bFor it has been cut off from your mouth.
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
bFor it has been cut off from your mouth.
