4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the high people of the earth languish:
5 and the earth is profaned under the settlers; because they trespassed the torah, passed over the statute, broke the eternal covenant.
6 So the oath devours the earth, and the settlers therein guilt: so the settlers of the earth scorch and few men survive:
7 the juice mourns; the vine languishes; all the cheerful sigh:
8 the joy of tambourines shabbathizes; the uproar of them who jump for joy ceases; the joy of the harp shabbathizes:
9 they drink no wine with a song; strong drink embitters them who drink:
10 the city of waste breaks down: every house is shut so that no man comes in.
11 There is an outcry for wine in the outways: all cheerfulness is obscured; the joy of the land is exiled:
12 desolation survives in the city; and the portal is crushed with waste.
