Joel 1:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ For a ^(A)nation has ^[a]invaded my land,
Mighty and without number;
^(B)Its teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And it has the fangs of a lioness.
⁷ It has ^(C)made my vine a waste
And my fig tree ^[b]splinters.
It has stripped them bare and cast them away;
Their branches have become white.

^8 (D)Wail like a virgin ^(E)girded with sackcloth
For the bridegroom of her youth.
