Joel 1:8 in Context — Joel 1

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!

9 Offrandes et libations disparaissent de la maison de l’Éternel; Les sacrificateurs, serviteurs de l’Éternel, sont dans le deuil.

10 Les champs sont ravagés, La terre est attristée; Car les blés sont détruits, Le moût est tari, l’huile est desséchée.
