8. The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
9. They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10. The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11. There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
12. The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
13. For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14. These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.
15. Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
16. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17. Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth.
18. It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19. The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
20. The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
