Reading for August 12th

Read Joel 1.1-4 The locust plague.
Joel introduces the locust  plague as one unparalleled in the living memory of his people
(compare 2.2).
In verse 4 the four terms for locust here and in 2.25 may refer to stages in the growth of the locust.
The meanings of the Hebrew terms are unclear, and the translations, cutting locust, etc., are only suggestions.
