Joel 1:2

A Lament Over The Land

¹ The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel. ² 
Hear this, O elders,
Listen closely, all inhabitants of the land!
Has such a thing as this occurred in your days,
Or even in the days of your fathers?
³
Tell your children about it,
And let your children tell their children,
And their children the next generation.

Nor will be again afterward
