And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!

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.

What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.

And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
bFor it has been cut off from your mouth. 
6 For aa nation has come up against My land,
Strong, and without number;
bHis teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a1 fierce lion.
