Isaiah 24:7-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ The wine dries up;
    the vine languishes;
    all the merry-hearted sigh.^(A)
8 The mirth of the timbrels is stilled;
    the noise of the jubilant has ceased;
    the mirth of the lyre is stilled.^(B)
9 No longer do they drink wine with singing;
    strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
¹⁰ The city of chaos is broken down;
    every house is shut up so that no one can enter.^(C)
11 There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
    all joy has reached its eventide;
    the gladness of the earth is banished.^(D)
