Joel 1:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ Drunks, wake up and cry!
    All you people who drink wine, cry!
Cry because your wine
    has been taken away from your mouths.
⁶ A powerful nation has come into my land
    with too many soldiers to count.
It has teeth like a lion,
    jaws like a female lion.
⁷ It has made my grapevine a waste
    and made my fig tree a stump.
It has stripped all the bark off my trees
    and left the branches white.
