Joel 1:4-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. What the gnawing locust left the swarming locust has eaten, and what the swarming locust left the crawling locust has eaten, and what the crawling locust left the consuming locust has eaten.

5. Wake up, you drunkards, and weep. And wail, all you drinkers of wine, on account of the new wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth.

6. For a nation has come up against My land, strong, and innumerable. Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness.

7. It has laid waste My vine and splintered My fig tree. It has made it entirely bare and cast it away, its branches became white.

8. Wail like a maiden girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

9. The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the House of יהוה. The priests, servants of יהוה, have mourned.
