Isaiah 24:7-12
New King James Version
7 (A)The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 The mirth (B)of 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.
12 In the city desolation is left,
And the gate is stricken with destruction.
Revelation 18:22-23

No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 (B)The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, (C)and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For (D)your merchants were the great men of the earth, (E)for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
