Isaiah 24:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 The earth [a]also deceiveth, because of the inhabitants thereof: for they transgressed the laws: they changed the ordinances, and brake the everlasting Covenant.
6 Therefore hath the [b]curse devoured the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are [c]burned up, and few men are left.
7 The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merry heart, do mourn.
