Isaiah 24:8-9

8 ^aThe 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 ^bwith singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

Amos 6:4-6

4 “Woe to those ^cwho lie on ^dbeds of ivory
^eand stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
^fand calves from the midst of the stall,
5 ^gwho sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
and like David ^hinvent for themselves instruments of music,
6 ⁱwho drink wine in bowls
and ^janoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

Jonah 3:3-9

3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now ^kNineveh was an exceedingly great city, ^{▼▼Hebrew a great city to God} three days’ journey in breadth. ^{▼▼Or a visit was a three days’ journey} 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 ⁿAnd the people of Nineveh believed God. ^oThey called for a fast and ^pput on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.

The People of Nineveh Repent

6 The word reached ^{▼▼Or had reached} the king of Nineveh, and ^rhe arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, ^sand sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, ^t“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor ^ubeast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and ^vbeast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. ^wLet everyone turn from his evil way and from ^xthe violence that is in his hands. 9 ^yWho knows? God may turn and relent ^zand turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”

Revelation of John 18:22

22 and ^aathe sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and ^abthe sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
