Isaiah 24:4-13
New International Version
Isaiah 24:4-13
New International Version
4 The earth dries up(A) and withers,(B)
the world languishes and withers,
the heavens(C) languish with the earth.(D)
5 The earth is defiled(E) by its people;
they have disobeyed(F) the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.(G)
6 Therefore a curse(H) consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,(I)
and very few are left.
7 The new wine dries up(J) and the vine withers;(K)
all the merrymakers groan.(L)
8 The joyful timbrels(M) are stilled,
the noise(N) of the revelers(O) has stopped,
the joyful harp(P) is silent.(Q)
9 No longer do they drink wine(R) with a song;
the beer is bitter(S) to its drinkers.
10 The ruined city(T) lies desolate;(U)
the entrance to every house is barred.
11 In the streets they cry out(V) for wine;(W)
all joy turns to gloom,(X)
all joyful sounds are banished from the earth.
12 The city is left in ruins,(Y)
its gate(Z) is battered to pieces.
13 So will it be on the earth
and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,(AA)
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.(AB)
Isaiah 24:4-13
King James Version
Isaiah 24:4-13
King James Version
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
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 smitten with destruction.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
