Isaiah 24:8

Compare all

6 Therefore ^athe curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are¹ desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are ^bburned,
And few men are left.

7 ^aThe new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.

8 The mirth ^aof the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

10 The city of confusion is broken down;
Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.

11 There is a cry for wine in the streets,
All joy is darkened,
The mirth of the land is gone.
