Isaiah 24:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ In the streets people will cry out for wine.
    All joy will turn into sadness.
    All joyful sounds will be driven out of the earth.
¹² All the buildings will be knocked down.
    Every city gate will be smashed to pieces.
¹³ That’s how it will be on the earth.
    And that’s how it will be among the nations.
It will be as when workers knock all but a few olives off the trees.
    It will be like a vine that has only a few grapes left after the harvest.
