Isaiah 24:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ The earth also is defiled by its inhabitants
    because they have transgressed the laws,
violated the ordinances,
    broken the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Therefore, the curse devours the earth,
    and those who dwell in it are held guilty.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
    and few men are left.
⁷ The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
    all the merry-hearted sigh.
