Isaiah 24:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Therefore a curse devours the earth,
    and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth dwindled,
    and few people are left.
⁷ The wine dries up,
    the vine languishes,
    all the merry-hearted sigh.
⁸ The mirth of the timbrels is stilled,
    the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
    the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
