Isaiah 24:3-12

3 ^gThe earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
^hfor the Lord has spoken this word.
4 ⁱThe earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5 The earth lies ^jdefiled
under its inhabitants;
for ^kthey have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore ^la curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants ^msuffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
7 ⁿThe wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 ^oThe mirth of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
9 No more do they drink wine ^pwith singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 ^qThe wasted city is broken down;
^revery house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 ^sThere is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
^tall joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12 Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.
