VIN(i)
1 the LORD lays the earth waste, annihilates it, disfigures its surface and scatters its inhabitants.
2 And it comes to be, as people, so priest, as servant, so his lord, as maid, so her mistress, as buyer, so seller, as borrowee, so borrower, as lender, so him to whom is lent."
3 The earth will be completely uninhabitable and totally plundered. the LORD has spoken this word.
4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the high people of the earth languish:
5 The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore a curse devours the earth, and the inhabitants in it suffer for their guilt. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth burn, and few men are left.
7 The new wine dries up; the vine languishes. All the merry of heart sigh;
8 the joy of the tambourine has stopped. The noise of the jubilant has ceased; the joy of the lyre has stopped.
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.
13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.
14 They raise their voices and shout for joy. From the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty.
15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD. Exalt the name of the LORD the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 Terror and traps and snares will be your lot, you people of the earth.
18 And it comes that the one fleeing from the awful sound shall fall into the pit. And the ascender from the midst of the pit shall be seized in a snare. For the crevices of the heights are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall quake."
19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently.
20 The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard and it quakes like a shack in the wind. Its transgression is heavy upon it, and it will fall, never to rise again.
21 That day the LORD will punish the host of heaven on high and the kings of the earth below.
22 And they will be gathered in a gathering, like a prisoner in a pit. And they will be shut in a prison and be punished after many days.
23 Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, For the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And his glory will be before his elders.
