Verse 6 is found in chapter 1 of Joel. Joel calls the drunkards to mourn because the wine has disappeared. The loss of the vine and fig tree affects not only the agricultural economy but also joy and celebration. The comparison of the invader to a powerful nation transforms the plague into an image of a threat that surpasses a purely agricultural explanation.
