23:024:007 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth,
all the
merryhearted
do sigh.
23:024:008 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise
of them that rejoice
endeth,
the joy of the harp ceaseth.
23:024:009 They shall not drink wine with a song;
strong drink shall be
bitter
to them that drink it.
23:024:010 The city of confusion is broken down:
every house is shut up,
that
no man may come in.
23:024:011 There is a crying for wine in the streets;
all joy is
darkened,
the mirth of the land is gone.
23:024:012 In the city is left desolation, and the
gate is smitten with
destruction.
23:024:013 When thus it shall be in the midst of the
land among the
people,
there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and
as
the
gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
23:024:014 They shall lift up their voice, they shall
sing for the
majesty
of the lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
23:024:015 Wherefore glorify ye the lord in the
fires, even the name of
the
lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
23:024:016 From the uttermost part of the earth have
we heard songs, even
glory
to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my
leanness,
woe
unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously;
yea,
the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
23:024:017 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon
thee, O inhabitant
of
the earth.
23:024:018 And it shall come to pass, that he who
fleeth from the noise
of
the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh
up out
of
the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare:
for the
windows
from on high are open, and the foundations of the
earth
do shake.
23:024:019 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth
is clean
dissolved,
the earth is moved exceedingly.
23:024:020 The earth shall reel to and fro like a
drunkard, and shall be
removed
like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall
be
heavy
upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
23:024:021 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the lord shall
punish
the host of the high ones that are on high, and the
kings
of the earth upon the earth.
23:024:022 And they shall be gathered together, as
prisoners are gathered
in
the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after
many
days
shall they be visited.
23:024:023 Then the moon shall be confounded, and
the sun ashamed, when
the
lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in
Jerusalem,
and
before his ancients gloriously.
