NSB(i)
3 The earth will be completely uninhabitable and totally plundered. Jehovah has spoken this word.
4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world fades and withers, the exalted people of the earth mourn.
5 The inhabitants of the earth pollute the earth. They transgress laws and violate statutes. They break the everlasting covenant.
6 A curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are found guilty. Therefore, those living on the earth are burned, and few men are left.
7 The new wine mourns, the vine decays and the merry-hearted sigh.
8 The joyful sound of tambourines ceases. The noise of revelers and the delight of the harp cease.
9 They no longer drink wine with a song. The beverage is bitter to its drinkers.
10 The ruined city lies desolate. The entrance to every house is barred and none may enter.
11 In the streets they cry out for wine. Joy turns to gloom and rejoicing is banished from the earth.
12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is battered to pieces.
