New International Version

Isaiah 24:4-9

4The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the heavens languish with the earth.

5The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.

7The new wine dries up and the vine withers; all the merrymakers groan.

8The joyful timbrels are stilled, the noise of the revelers has stopped, the joyful harp is silent.

9No longer do they drink wine with a song; the beer is bitter to its drinkers.
