Joel 1:6-8

New Living Translation

⁶ A vast army of locusts^[a] has invaded my land,
    a terrible army too numerous to count.
Its teeth are like lions’ teeth,
    its fangs like those of a lioness.
⁷ It has destroyed my grapevines
    and ruined my fig trees,
stripping their bark and destroying it,
    leaving the branches white and bare.

⁸ Weep like a bride dressed in black,
    mourning the death of her husband.
