The locusts have completely destroyed our vines.
    They have wiped out our fig trees.
They’ve stripped off the bark and thrown it away.
    They’ve left the branches bare.

My people, mourn like a virgin
    who is dressed in the clothes of sadness.

    to the Lord’s house anymore.
So the priests who serve the Lord
    are filled with sorrow.
