Isaiah 24:3-12

MSTC(i) 3 Yea miserably shall the world be wasted and clean destroyed. For the LORD hath so determined in himself. 4 The earth shall be heavy and decay: The face of the earth shall perish and fall away, the proud people of the world shall come to naught. 5 For the earth is corrupt of her indwellers. For why? They have offended the law, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse consumed the earth; and they that dwell therein are fallen into trespass. Wherefore the inhabiters of the earth are perished with drought, and those that remain shall be very few. 7 The sweet wine shall mourn, the grapes shall be weak, and all that have been merry in heart, shall sigh. 8 The mirth of tabrets shall be laid down, the cheer of the joyful shall cease, and the pleasure of lutes shall have an end: 9 there shall no more wine be drunk with mirth, the beer shall be bitter to them that drink it; 10 the wicked cities shall be broken down, all houses shall be shut that no man may come in. 11 In the streets shall there be lift up a cry because of wine, all men's cheer shall vanish away, and all joy of the earth shall pass. 12 Desolation shall remain in the cities, and the gates shall be smitten with destruction.
