The Lord says,“ I sent a great army of locusts to attack you. They included common locusts, giant locusts, young locusts and other locusts. I will make up for the years they ate your crops.

He turned land that produced crops into a salty land where nothing could grow. He did it because the people who lived there were evil.

That day will be dark and sad. It will be black and cloudy. A huge army of locusts is coming. They will spread across the mountains like the sun when it rises. There has never been an army like it. And there will never be another for all time to come.Like fire they eat up everything in their path. Behind them it looks as if flames have burned the land. In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden. Behind them it is a dry and empty desert. Nothing escapes them.They look like horses. Like war horses they charge ahead.They sound like chariots as they leap over the mountaintops. They crackle like fire burning up dry weeds. They are like a mighty army that is ready for battle.When people see them, they tremble with fear. All their faces turn pale.The locusts charge ahead like warriors. They climb over walls like soldiers. All of them march in line. They don’t turn to the right or the left.They don’t bump into one another. Each of them marches straight ahead. They charge through everything that tries to stop them. But they still stay in line.They attack a city. They run along its wall. They climb into houses. They enter through windows like robbers.As they march forward, the earth shakes. The heavens tremble as they approach. The sun and moon grow dark. And the stars stop shining.The Lord thunders with his mighty voice as he leads his army. He has so many forces they can’t even be counted. The army that obeys his commands is mighty. The day of the Lord is great and terrifying. Who can live through it?

The locusts looked like horses ready for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold. Their faces looked like human faces.Their hair was like women’s hair. Their teeth were like lions’ teeth.Their chests were covered with something that looked like armor made out of iron. The sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.They had tails that could sting people like scorpions do. And in their tails they had power to hurt people over and over for five months.

They will sweep on into Judah like a flood. They will pass through Judah and reach all the way to Jerusalem. Immanuel, they will attack your land like an eagle. Their wings will spread out and cover it.”

My people’s land is overgrown with thorns and bushes. Mourn for all the houses that were once filled with joy. Cry over this city that used to be full of wild parties.

Some people have teeth like swords. The teeth in their jaws are as sharp as knives. They are ready to eat up the poor people of the earth. They are ready to eat up those who are the most needy.

The first are ants, which aren’t very strong. But they store up their food in the summer.The second are hyraxes, which aren’t very powerful. But they make their home among the rocks.The third are locusts, which don’t have a king. But they all march forward in ranks.

You won’t remain in the Lord’ s land. Ephraim, you will return to Egypt. You will eat“ unclean” food in Assyria.
