What the devouring locust^(A) has left,
the swarming locust has eaten;

the young locust^(B) has eaten;
and what the young locust has left,
the destroying locust^(C) has eaten.

Wake up, you drunkards,^(D) and weep;
wail, all you wine drinkers,
because of the sweet wine,
for it has been taken from your mouth.

For a nation has invaded My land,^(E)
powerful and without number;
its teeth are the teeth of a lion,
and it has the fangs of a lioness.^(F)

It has devastated My grapevine
and splintered My fig tree.
It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away;
its branches have turned white.
