8. Stilled are the cheerful timbrels,ended the shouts of the jubilant,stilled the cheerful harp.
9. They no longer drink wine and sing;strong brew is bitter to those who drink it.
10. Broken down is the city of chaos,every house is shut against entry.
11. In the streets they cry out for lack of wine;all joy has grown dim,cheer is exiled from the land.
12. In the city nothing remains but desolation,gates battered into ruins.
13. For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth,among the peoples,As when an olive tree has been beaten,as with a gleaning when the vintage is done.
14. These shall lift up their voice,they shall sing for joy in the majesty of the Lord,they shall shout from the western sea:
15. “Therefore, in the eastgive glory to the Lord!In the coastlands of the sea,to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel!”
16. From the end of the earth we hear songs:“Splendor to the Just One!”But I said, “I am wasted, wasted away.Woe is me! The traitors betray;with treachery have the traitors betrayed!
