6. Because a nation has invaded my land, strong and beyond counting. Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its fangs are those of a lioness.
7. It has made my vine a desolation, and my fig tree a completely splintered stump. It has stripped them bare and thrown them down; their branches have turned white.
8. Lament like a virgin girded in sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9. The offering and libation are withheld from the house of Yahweh. The priests mourn, the ministers of Yahweh.
