For a (A)nation has [a]invaded my land,
Mighty and without number;
(B)Its teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And it has the jaws of a lioness.
It has (C)made my vine a waste
And my fig tree a stump.
It has stripped them bare and hurled them away;
Their branches have become white.

(D)Wail like a virgin (E)clothed with sackcloth
For the groom of her youth.

  1. Joel 1:6 Lit gone up against

A nation has invaded my land,
    a mighty army without number;(A)
it has the teeth(B) of a lion,
    the fangs of a lioness.
It has laid waste(C) my vines
    and ruined my fig trees.(D)
It has stripped off their bark
    and thrown it away,
    leaving their branches white.

Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth(E)
    grieving for the betrothed of her youth.
