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.
Strong, and without number;
bHis teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a1 fierce lion.
And1 ruined My fig tree;
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.
Have been cut off from the house of the Lord;
The priests bmourn, who minister to the Lord.
