Isaiah 24:9-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

9. They no longer singas they drink their wine,and it tastes sour.

10. Towns are crushed and in chaos;houses are locked tight.

11. Happy times have disappearedfrom the earth,and people shout in the streets,“We're out of wine!”

12. Cities are destroyed;their gates are torn down.

13. Nations will be stripped bare,like olive trees or vineyardsafter the harvest season.

14. People in the west shout;they joyfully praisethe majesty of the Lord.
