The Scriptures 1998

Isaiah 24:7-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. The new wine shall fail, the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh.

8. The joy of the tambourine shall cease, the noise of those who rejoice shall end, the joy of the lyre shall cease.

9. No more do they drink wine with a song, strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

10. The deserted city shall be broken down, every house shall be shut, no one enters.

11. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy shall be darkened, the gladness of the earth shall be gone.

12. The city is left in ruins, and the gate is stricken with destruction.

13. For thus it is to be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the grape harvest is done.
