The End of Joy and Celebration
7
The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
8
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9
They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10
The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
