Awake, you (A)drunkards, and weep;
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
(B)For it has been cut off from your mouth.
For (C)a nation has come up against My land,
Strong, and without number;
(D)His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a [a]fierce lion.
He has (E)laid waste My vine,
And [b]ruined My fig tree;
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.
