Joel 1:5-7
International Standard Version
A Call to Mourning
5 “Wake up, you drunkards!
Cry aloud and howl, you wine drinkers,
because your supply of new wine has been snatched from you.[a]
6 Indeed, a nation has invaded my land—
it is strong and its population is too large to count[b]—
with teeth like a lion
and fangs[c] like a lioness.
7 That nation[d] laid waste my vines,
and stripped bare my fig tree,
discarding it.
It stripped off[e] its bark.
Joel 1:5-7

New International Version
5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you drinkers of wine;(A)
wail because of the new wine,
for it has been snatched(B) from your lips.
6 A nation has invaded my land,
a mighty army without number;(C)
it has the teeth(D) of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste(E) my vines
and ruined my fig trees.(F)
It has stripped off their bark
and thrown it away,
leaving their branches white.

King James Version
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
