3Tell your children about it,and have your children tell their children,and their children, another generation. 4What the swarming locust has left, the great locust has eaten.What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten.What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten. 5Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine,for it is cut off from your mouth. 6For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number.His teeth are the teeth of a lion,and he has the fangs of a lioness. 7He has laid my vine waste,and stripped my fig tree.He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away.Its branches are made white.
