5 The earth is also become bankrupt under its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, falsified the order, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore the curse has consumed the earth, and those that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men left.
7 The new wine is lost; the vine is sick; all those who were merryhearted sigh.
8 The mirth of tambourines ceases; the noise of those that rejoice ends; the joy of the harp ceases.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; the drink shall be bitter to them that would drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up that no man may come in.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened; the mirth of the land is gone.
