Joel 1:6-8 "For there is a nation that has come up into my land,
mighty and without number. Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it
has the jawbones of a lion. It has set my vine as
an object of astonishment, and my fig
tree as a stump. It has positively stripped it bare and thrown [it]
away. The twigs of it have become white. Wail, as a virgin
girded with sackcloth does over the
owner of her youth." // Compare Isaiah
10:16-22; 57:11-13; Revelation 11:2,3
Joel 2:12-14 "And now also," the utterance of Jehovah is, "come
back to me with all YOUR hearts, and with
fasting and with weeping and with wailing. And rip apart YOUR hearts,
and not YOUR garments; and come back to Jehovah YOUR God, for he is gracious
and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, and he will
certainly feel regret on account of the calamity. Who is there knowing
whether he will turn back and actually feel regret and let remain after it a
blessing, a grain offering and a drink offering for Jehovah YOUR God?" -

- Malachi 3:5,6

they apportioned out my land."
