Isaiah 24:4-12

JuliaSmith(i) 4 The earth mourning, fell away: the habitable globe languishing, fell away: the heights of the people of the land languished, 5 And the earth was polluted under its inhabitants, for they passed by the instructions, they changed the law, they broke the eternal covenant 6 For this, the curse consumed the earth, and they dwelling in it, will transgress: for this, they dwelling upon the earth were burned, and those remaining, men of fewness. 7 The new wine mourned, the vine languished, all they joyful of heart, sighed 8 The exulting of the drums ceased, the noise of those triumphing, left off, the exulting of the harp ceased. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to those drinking it 10 The city of desolation was broken down: every house was shut up from coining in. 11 An outcry for wine in the streets; all joy grew dark, the exulting of the earth was carried into exile. 12 Desolation was left in the city, and the gate shall be struck in ruins.
