You will tell these things to your children,
    and your children will tell their children,
    and your grandchildren will tell the people of the next generation.
What the cutting locust[a] has left,
    the swarming locust has eaten.
And what the swarming locust has left,
    the hopping locust has eaten.
And what the hopping locust has left,
    the destroying locust has eaten!

The Locusts—A Powerful Army

Drunks, wake up and cry!
    All of you who drink wine, cry
because your sweet wine is finished.
    You will not taste it again.
