Joel 1:5-12

MKJV(i) 5 Awake, drunkards, and weep; and howl, all drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. 6 For a nation has come up on My land, strong and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the jaw teeth of a lioness. 7 He has laid My vine waste and splintered My fig tree. He has stripped it and cast it away; its branches grow white. 8 Weep like a virgin clothed with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. 9 The food offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn. 10 The field is wasted; the land mourns, for the grain is wasted. The new wine is dried up; the oil tree droops. 11 Be ashamed, husbandmen; howl, vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished. 12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree droops, the pomegranate and the palm tree, and the apple tree; all the trees of the field are dried up, because joy has dried up from the sons of men.
