Isaiah 24:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ Therefore, the curse devours the earth,
    and those who dwell in it are held guilty.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
    and few men are left.
⁷ The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
    all the merry-hearted sigh.
⁸ The joy of tambourines ceases,
    the noise of those who rejoice ends,
    the joy of the harp ceases.
