Therefore a curse devours the earth,
    and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth dwindled,
    and few people are left.
The wine dries up,
    the vine languishes,
    all the merry-hearted sigh.
The mirth of the timbrels is stilled,
    the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
    the mirth of the lyre is stilled.

Therefore (A)the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are [a]desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are (B)burned,
And few men are left.

(C)The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
The mirth (D)of the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.
