Isaiah 24:7-11 ▼

7 The new wine mourns; the vine withers. All the carousers now groan.

8 The joyful tambourines have ceased. The noise of the jubilant has stopped. The joyful lyre has ceased.

9 They no longer sing and drink wine; beer is bitter to those who drink it.

10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.

11 In the streets they cry for wine. All joy grows dark; earth’s rejoicing goes into exile.
