Yeshayah 24:8-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. The mirth of tambourines ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the kinnor (harp) ceaseth.

9. They shall not drink yayin with a shir (song); shekhar (liquor, strong drink) shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10. The city of tohu is broken; every bais is shut up, that no man may come in.

11. There is a crying for yayin in the streets; all simchah is darkened, the mirth of HaAretz is banished.

12. In the Ir is left desolation, and the sha'ar is stricken with ruination.

13. When thus it shall be in the midst of HaAretz among the nations, there shall be as the shaking of a zayit (olive tree), and as the olelot (gleanings) when the grape harvest is done.

14. They shall lift up their kol (voice), they shall sing for the Ga'on (Glory) of Hashem, they shall shout from the yam.

15. Therefore glorify ye Hashem in the Urim (east), even the Shem Hashem Elohei Yisroel in the iyyim (islands) [see Isaiah 42:4] of the yam.
