Isaiah 24:6

Read in context

Isaiah 24:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.

5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.

7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.

8 The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
