Et reddam vobis annos quos comedit lucusta

"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten" are the opening words of Joel, chapter 2, verse 25 in the King James version of the Bible.  It is far from the only time, when this version of the Bible puts something in a far more memorable and poetic way than other English translations.

In Latin, it is: "Et reddam vobis annos quos comedit lucusta."
