Joel 1:5-7
International Children’s Bible
5 Drunks, wake up and cry!
All of you people who drink wine, cry!
Cry because your sweet wine
has been taken away from you.
6 A powerful nation has come into my land.
It has too many soldiers to count.
It has teeth like a lion.
And it has fangs like a female lion.
7 That army has eaten my grapevines.
It has destroyed my fig trees.
It has eaten the bark off my trees
and left the branches white.
Joel 1:5-7
New International Version
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.
