They no longer sing and drink wine;
beer is bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of chaos is shattered;(A)
every house is closed to entry.(B)
11 In the streets they cry[a] for wine.
All joy grows dark;
earth’s rejoicing goes into exile.

  1. 24:11 Lit streets she cries

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.
