Isaiah 24:4-7 ▼

4 The earth mourns and dries up, and the land wastes away and withers. Even the greatest people on earth waste away.

5 The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore, a curse consumes the earth. Its people must pay the price for their sin. They are destroyed by fire, and only a few are left alive.

7 The grapevines waste away, and there is no new wine. All the merrymakers sigh and mourn.
