Joel 1:2
The Invasion of Locusts
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel: 2Hear this, O elders; and give ear, all who dwell in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your fathers? 3Tell it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
