Joel 1:2-4 King James Version (KJV)
² Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
³ Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
⁴ That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
 
Joel 1:2-4 New Living Translation (NLT)

Mourning over the Locust Plague

 
² Hear this, you leaders of the people.
    Listen, all who live in the land.
In all your history,
    has anything like this happened before?
³ Tell your children about it in the years to come,
    and let your children tell their children.
    Pass the story down from generation to generation.
⁴ After the cutting locusts finished eating the crops,
    the swarming locusts took what was left!
After them came the hopping locusts,
    and then the stripping locusts, too!

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
 
2 Things may happen in our life that hasn’t happened before and this should get our attention. We should listen to the word of the Lord and listen to scripture which is the word for us all.
 
3 We should pass the story of the gospel around it is our duty to spread it just as they were to spread this warning. We should also be sharing how God works in our life.
 
4 Locusts destroy being eating almost everything, this causes famine and having four groups of locusts means starving and almost no food or crops to grow food at all.
