Isaiah 24:3-12

Ottley(i) 3 The earth shall be utterly destroyed, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken this. 4 The earth mourneth, and the world. is destroyed; and the exalted ones of the earth do mourn. 5 And the earth transgresseth because of her inhabitants: because they have overstepped (the) law, and changed the ordinances of the Lord, an everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, because the inhabitants of it have sinned; therefore shall they that dwell in the earth be poor, and few men shall be left. 7 The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all that are joyful in heart shall groan. 8 Ceased is the joy of tabrets, ceased is the arrogance and wealth of the wicked, ceased the voice of the harp. 9 They are ashamed, they drink not wine; the strong drink becometh bitter to them that drink. 10 Every city is made desolate; it shall shut up the house, that none come in. 11 Wail, for the wine, everywhere; ceased is all joy of the land, 12 And cities shall be left desolate, and houses left therein shall perish.
