Joel 1:6-8
Tree of Life Version
6 For a nation has invaded my land.
Vast—yes, without number!
Its teeth are lion’s teeth,
with jaw-teeth of a lioness.[a]
7 He has turned my vine to waste
and my fig tree to splinters.
He has stripped off all the bark
and flung it down—
its branches are left white.
8 Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth
for the husband of her youth!
