In context

⁶For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its fangs are the fangs of a lioness.

⁷It has laid waste My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off the bark and thrown it away; the branches have turned white.

⁸Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth, grieving for the husband of her youth.

⁹Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD.

¹⁰The field is ruined; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.
