9 They no longer sing and drink wine;the beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.
10 The ruined town is shattered;all of the houses are shut up tight.
11 They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine;all joy turns to sorrow;celebrations disappear from the earth.
12 The city is left in ruins;the gate is reduced to rubble.
13 This is what will happen throughout the earth,among the nations.It will be like when they beat an olive tree,and just a few olives are left at the end of the harvest.
14 They lift their voices and shout joyfully;they praise the majesty of the Lord in the west.
15 So in the east extol the Lord,along the seacoasts extol the fame of the Lord God of Israel.
