Joel 1:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ For a nation has invaded my land.
Vast—yes, without number!
Its teeth are lion’s teeth,
    with jaw-teeth of a lioness.^[a]
7 He has turned my vine to waste
and my fig tree to splinters.
He has stripped off all the bark
    and flung it down—
its branches are left white.
⁸ Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth
for the husband of her youth!
