Joel 1:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶         A nation has come up into my land, powerful and without number.
        It has teeth like a lion and fangs like a lioness.
⁷         It has devastated my vines and shredded my fig trees.
        It has completely stripped off their bark and thrown it aside,
        so that their branches are bare and white.
⁸ Grieve like a virgin dressed in sackcloth,
    who grieves for the husband^[a] of her youth.
