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.
