Isaiah 24:6-12 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left.

7. The new wine shall fail, the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh.

8. The joy of the tambourine shall cease, the noise of those who rejoice shall end, the joy of the lyre shall cease.

9. No more do they drink wine with a song, strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

10. The deserted city shall be broken down, every house shall be shut, no one enters.

11. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy shall be darkened, the gladness of the earth shall be gone.

12. The city is left in ruins, and the gate is stricken with destruction.
