Joel 1:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 (A) A powerful nation[a]
with countless troops
has invaded our land.
They have the teeth and jaws
of powerful lions.
7 Our grapevines and fig trees
are stripped bare;
only naked branches remain.
8 Grieve like a young woman
mourning for the man
she was to marry.

Joel 1:6-8
New International Version
6 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.
7 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.
8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth(E)
grieving for the betrothed of her youth.
