⁴² All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.

³⁸ You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.

³⁹ You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.

¹ This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.

² And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.
