The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 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? Tell ye your children of it, and
let your children tell their children, and their children another
generation. 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 caterpillar eaten. Awake, ye drunkards,
and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it
is cut off from your mouth. For a nation is come up upon my land, strong,
and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the
cheek teeth of a great lion.

                                (Joel 1:1-6)

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the
cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I
sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the
name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD
your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall
come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and
upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew
wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of
smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to
pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath
said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

                               (Joel 2:25-32)
