Joel 1:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Lament over the Ruin of the Country
2 Hear this, O elders;
give ear, all inhabitants of the land!
Has such a thing happened in your days
or in the days of your ancestors?(A)
3 Tell your children of it,
and let your children tell their children,
and their children another generation.(B)
4 What the cutting locust left,
the swarming locust has eaten;
what the swarming locust left,
the hopping locust has eaten;
and what the hopping locust left,
the destroying locust has eaten.(C)
Joel 2:28-29

God’s Spirit Poured Out
28 [a]Then afterward
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.(A)
29 Even on the male and female slaves,
in those days I will pour out my spirit.(B)
