Isaiah 24:7-9

Context

24:7 The new wine dries up,

the vines shrivel up,

all those who like to celebrate 1  groan.

24:8 The happy sound 2  of the tambourines stops,

the revelry of those who celebrate comes to a halt,

the happy sound of the harp ceases.

24:9 They no longer sing and drink wine; 3 

the beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.

1 tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “all the joyful in heart,” but the context specifies the context as parties and drinking bouts.

2 tn Heb “the joy” (again later in this verse).

3 tn Heb “with a song they do not drink wine.”
