Isaiah 24:5-7

The Voice

⁵ The earth is polluted by those who live on it;
    they pay no attention to God’s teaching.
    They violate His directives and break the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Consequently, a nasty curse consumes the earth,
    and those who inhabit it are to blame for it.
They’ll be burned up,
    leaving very few people to survive.
⁷ Luscious wine grapes shrivel to nothing.
    The vines rot, and everyone who had taken
    joy from their nectar sighs in deep depression.
