Joel 1:4-6
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
4 Det som gräshopporna[a] lämnade kvar
    åt gräsgnagarna upp,
det som gräsgnagarna lämnade kvar
    åt gräsbitarna upp,
och det som gräsbitarna lämnade kvar
    åt gräsätarna upp.
5 Vakna, ni berusade, och gråt,
    klaga, ni drinkare!
För det nya vinet
    har ryckts bort från era läppar.
6 Ett folk har invaderat mitt land,
    starkt och oräkneligt,
med tänder som ett lejons
    och kindtänder som en lejoninnas.
Joel 1:4-6
