1:5

Awake
<06974> (8685)_,

ye drunkards
<07910>_,

and weep
<01058> (8798)_;

and howl
<03213> (8685)_,

all ye drinkers
<08354> (8802)

of wine
<03196>_,

because of the new wine
<06071>_;

for it is cut off
<03772> (8738)

from your mouth
<06310>_.

1:6

For a nation
<01471>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

upon my land
<0776>_,

strong
<06099>_,

and without number
<04557>_,

whose teeth
<08127>

[are] the teeth
<08127>

of a lion
<0738>_,

and he hath the cheek teeth
<04973>

of a great lion
<03833>_.

1:7

He hath laid
<07760> (8804)

my vine
<01612>

waste
<08047>_,

and barked
<07111>

my fig tree
<08384>_:

he hath made it clean
<02834> (8800)

bare
<02834> (8804)_,

and cast [it] away
<07993> (8689)_;

the branches
<08299>

thereof are made white
<03835> (8689)_.

{barked...: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking}

1:8

Lament
<0421> (8798)

like a virgin
<01330>

girded
<02296> (8803)

with sackcloth
<08242>

for the husband
<01167>

of her youth
<05271>_.

1:9

The meat offering
<04503>

and the drink offering
<05262>

is cut off
<03772> (8717)

from the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

the priests
<03548>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

ministers
<08334> (8764)_,

mourn
<056> (8804)_.
