Joel 1:4-7
New International Version
4 What the locust(A) swarm has left
the great locusts have eaten;
what the great locusts have left
the young locusts have eaten;
what the young locusts have left(B)
other locusts[a] have eaten.(C)
5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you drinkers of wine;(D)
wail because of the new wine,
for it has been snatched(E) from your lips.
6 A nation has invaded my land,
a mighty army without number;(F)
it has the teeth(G) of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste(H) my vines
and ruined my fig trees.(I)
It has stripped off their bark
and thrown it away,
leaving their branches white.
