8. The happy sound of the tambourines stops,the revelry of those who celebrate comes to a halt,the happy sound of the harp ceases.
9. They no longer sing and drink wine;the beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.
10. The ruined town is shattered;all of the houses are shut up tight.
11. They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine;all joy turns to sorrow;celebrations disappear from the earth.
12. The city is left in ruins;the gate is reduced to rubble.
13. This is what will happen throughout the earth,among the nations.It will be like when they beat an olive tree,and just a few olives are left at the end of the harvest.
14. They lift their voices and shout joyfully;they praise the majesty of the Lord in the west.
15. So in the east extol the Lord,along the seacoasts extol the fame of the Lord God of Israel.
