Joel 1:3
Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
Tell ye your children of it,.... Give them a particular account of it; describe the creatures and their number as near as you can; say when they begun and how long they continued, and what devastations they made, and what was the cause and reason of such a judgment, your sins and transgressions:
and let your children tell their children, and their children other generation; or, "to the generation following" {l}; let it be handed down from one generation to another that it may be a caution to future posterity how they behave and lest they bring down the like awful judgments on them. What this referred to was as follows:
