4. What the gazam-locust left the ‘arbeh-locust consumed,what the ‘arbeh-locust left the yeleq-locust consumed,and what the yeleq-locust left the hasil-locust consumed!
5. Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!Wail, all you wine drinkers,because the sweet wine has been taken away from you.
6. For a nation has invaded our land.There are so many of them they are too numerous to count.Their teeth are like those of a lion;they tear apart their prey like a lioness.
7. They have destroyed our vines;they have turned our fig trees into mere splinters.They have completely stripped off the bark and thrown them aside;the twigs are stripped bare.
8. Wail like a young virgin clothed in sackcloth,lamenting the death of her husband-to-be.
