Isaiah 16:9

9 Therefore ^eI weep with ^fthe weeping of Jazer
for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over ^gyour summer fruit and your harvest
the shout has ceased.

Isaiah 24:7-12

7 ^hThe wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 ⁱThe 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 ^jwith singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 ^kThe wasted city is broken down;
^levery house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 ^mThere is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
ⁿall joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12 Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.

Isaiah 32:9-14

Complacent Women Warned of Disaster

9 ^oRise up, you women ^pwho are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 In little more than a year
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the grape harvest fails,
the fruit harvest will not come.
11 Tremble, you women ^qwho are at ease,
shudder, you complacent ones;
^rstrip, and make yourselves bare,
^sand tie sackcloth around your waist.
12 ^tBeat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 ^ufor the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
^vyes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
^wa joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;

Jeremiah 25:9-10

9 ^xbehold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^ymy servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, ^zand make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation. 10 Moreover, ^aaI will banish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, ^abthe grinding of the millstones and ^acthe light of the lamp.

Joel 1:12

12 The vine dries up;
^adthe fig tree languishes.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple,
all the trees of the field are dried up,
and ^aegladness dries up
from the children of man.

Joel 1:16

16 Is not the food cut off
before our eyes,
^afjoy and gladness
from the house of our God?

Revelation of John 18:22-23

22 and ^agthe 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 ^ahthe sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and ^aithe voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for ^ajyour merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived ^akby your sorcery.
