the destroying locust has eaten.

but never have enough to be satisfied.

The wage earner puts his wages
into a bag with a hole in it.”

and 10 bushels of seed will yield
only one bushel.

that the swarming locust ate,
the young locust, the destroying locust,
and the devouring locust—
My great army that I sent against you.

and behind them a flame devours.
The land in front of them
is like the Garden of Eden,
but behind them,
it is like a desert wasteland;
there is no escape from them.

the locust devoured
your many gardens and vineyards,
your fig trees and olive trees,
yet you did not return to Me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
