MLV(i)
5 Awake, you* drunkards and weep and wail, all you* drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your* mouth.
6 For a nation has come up upon my land, strong and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion and he has the jaw-teeth of a lioness.
7 He has laid my vine waste and barked my fig tree. He has made it clean bare and cast it away. The tendrils of it are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. 9 The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah. The priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.
