Wake up, you drunkards,(A) and weep;
wail, all you wine drinkers,
because of the sweet wine,
for it has been taken from your mouth.
For a nation has invaded my land,(B)
powerful and without number;
its teeth are the teeth of a lion,
and it has the fangs of a lioness.(C)
It has devastated my grapevine
and splintered my fig tree.
It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away;
its branches have turned white.

    and ruined my fig trees.(F)
It has stripped off their bark
    and thrown it away,
    leaving their branches white.
