Joel 1:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ Swarm after swarm of locusts^[a]
has attacked our crops,
    eating everything in sight.
⁵ Sober up, you drunkards!
Cry long and loud;
    your wine supply is gone.
^6 (A) A powerful nation^[b]
with countless troops
    has invaded our land.
They have the teeth and jaws
    of powerful lions.
