Isaiah 24:4-9

4The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the highest people of the earth languish.

5The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched, and few men are left.

7The wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted sigh.

8The mirth of the tambourines is stilled, the noise of the jubilant has ceased, the mirth of the lyre is stilled.

9No more do they drink wine with singing; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
