Isaiah 24:7-11
New King James Version
7 (A)The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 The mirth (B)of the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down;
Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.
11 There is a cry for wine in the streets,
All joy is darkened,
The mirth of the land is gone.

New King James Version
34 Then I will cause to (A)cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. For (B)the land shall be desolate.
