Isaiah 24:4-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 The earth dries up and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the heavens languish together with the earth.
5 The earth lies polluted
under its inhabitants,
for they have transgressed laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.(A)
6 Therefore a curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth dwindled,
and few people are left.(B)
7 The wine dries up;
the vine languishes;
all the merry-hearted sigh.(C)
Hosea 9:2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,
and the new wine shall fail them.(A)
