Joel 1:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 A nation has come up into my land, powerful and without number.
It has teeth like a lion and fangs like a lioness.
7 It has devastated my vines and shredded my fig trees.
It has completely stripped off their bark and thrown it aside,
so that their branches are bare and white.
8 Grieve like a virgin dressed in sackcloth,
who grieves for the husband[a] of her youth.
Footnotes
- Joel 1:8 The husband is the young man to whom the virgin had been pledged in marriage as his legal wife, but with whom she had not yet lived.
