Isaiah 24:3-12 Empty, emptied out shall be the land, and spoiled, utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Empty, emptied out shall be the land, and spoiled, utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word. ⁴ The land mourneth, withereth away, the world languishes, withereth away, the high ones of the people of the land do languish. ⁵ For the land was defiled under its inhabitants; because they had transgressed the laws, neglected the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. ⁶ Therefore hath the curse devoured the land, and they that dwell therein suffer for their guilt; therefore are the inhabitants of the land dried up, and but few men are left. ⁷ The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted sigh. ⁸ At rest is the mirth of the tambourines; ceased hath the tumult of the joyful; at rest is the mirth of the harp. ⁹ Amidst singing shall they no more drink wine; bitter shall be the strong drink to those that drink it. ¹⁰ Broken down is the city of desolation; shut up is every house that none can enter. ¹¹ A painful cry for wine is in the streets; darkened is all joy; banished is the mirth of the land. ¹² Destruction is left in the city, in ruins is beaten the gate.
