For (A)a nation has come up against My land,
Strong, and without number;
(B)His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a [a]fierce lion.
He has (C)laid waste My vine,
And [b]ruined My fig tree;
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.

(D)Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth
For (E)the husband of her youth.
