Joel 1:5-9
5
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you drinkers of wine;
wail because of the new wine,
for it has been snatched from your lips.
6
A nation has invaded my land,
powerful and without number;
it has the teeth of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness.
7
It has laid waste my vines
and ruined my fig trees.
It has stripped off their bark
and thrown it away,
leaving their branches white.
8
Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth
grieving for the husband of her youth.
9
Grain offerings and drink offerings
are cut off from the house of the Lord.
The priests are in mourning,
those who minister before the Lord.
