Joel 1:5-7

5Awake, 1you heavy drinkers, and weep; And wail, all you wine drinkers, Because of the sweet wine, For it has been 2eliminated from your mouth.6For a 3nation has 4invaded my land, Mighty and without number; 5Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, And it has the jaws of a lioness.7It has 6made my vine a waste And my fig tree a stump. It has stripped them bare and hurled them away; Their branches have become white.
