Joel 1:7 Context
5Awake ye drunkards, and weepe, and howle all yee drinkers of wine, because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth. 6For a nation is come vp vpon my lande, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lyon, and he hath the cheeke-teeth of a great lyon. 7He hath laide my vine waste: and barked my figge-tree: hee hath made it cleane bare, and cast it away, the branches thereof are made white. 8¶ Lament like a virgine girded with sackecloth for the husband of her youth. 9The meate offring and the drinke offering is cut off from the house of the Lord, the Priestes the Lords ministers mourne.
