Isaiah 24:7-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. The new wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted do sigh.

8. The mirth of timbrels ceases, the noise of them that rejoice ends, the joy of the harp ceases.

9. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10. The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

12. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is stricken with destruction.

13. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, and like the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15. Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

16. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

17. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
