LITV(i)
3 The land shall completely be emptied and utterly stripped, for Jehovah has spoken this word.
4 The land mourns and languishes; the world droops and languishes; the proud people of the earth droop.
5 And the earth is profaned under its inhabitants, because they transgress laws and violate a statute, and break the everlasting covenant.
6 On account of this a curse has devoured the land; and they who live in it are held guilty. For this the dwellers of the land are consumed, and few men are left.
7 The new wine has failed; the vine droops; all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 The joy of timbrels ceases; the noise of those who revel ends; the joy of the harp ceases.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; fermented drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of shame is broken down; every house is shut, that no one may enter.
11 A crying over the wine is in the streets; all joy is darkened; the gladness in the land is carried away.
12 Desolation is remaining in the city, and a ruin; the gate is battered.
13 For it is thus in the midst of the land, among the peoples, it shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as gleanings when the grape harvest is completed.
