5 For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot, changed the law, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left.
7 The new wine shall fail, the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh.
8 The joy of the tambourine shall cease, the noise of those who rejoice shall end, the joy of the lyre shall cease.
9 No more do they drink wine with a song, strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 The deserted city shall be broken down, every house shall be shut, no one enters.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy shall be darkened, the gladness of the earth shall be gone.
