5The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
6For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
7The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
8The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
9There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
10The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
11There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
