Joel 1:6-8

World English Bible

⁶ For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number.
    His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
    and he has the fangs of a lioness.
⁷ He has laid my vine waste,
    and stripped my fig tree.
    He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away.
    Its branches are made white.
⁸ Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackcloth for the husband of her youth!
