Wail, all drinkers of wine, over the new wine,
    for it is cut off from your mouth.
Because a nation has invaded[a] my land,
    strong and beyond counting.[b]

    and my fig tree a completely splintered stump.
It has stripped them bare and thrown them down;
    their branches have turned white.
