Joel 1:6 in Context — Joel 1
4 Ce qu’a laissé le gazam, la sauterelle l’a dévoré; Ce qu’a laissé la sauterelle, le jélek l’a dévoré; Ce qu’a laissé le jélek, le hasil l’a dévoré.
5 Réveillez-vous, ivrognes, et pleurez! Vous tous, buveurs de vin, gémissez, Parce que le moût vous est enlevé de la bouche!
6 Car un peuple est venu fondre sur mon pays, Puissant et innombrable. Il a les dents d’un lion, Les mâchoires d’une lionne.
7 Il a dévasté ma vigne; Il a mis en morceaux mon figuier, Il l’a dépouillé, abattu; Les rameaux de la vigne ont blanchi.
8 Lamente-toi, comme la vierge qui se revêt d’un sac Pour pleurer l’ami de sa jeunesse!
