Bible verse
In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
Isaiah 24:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 24.
7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.
8 The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
9 They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.
11 In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
15 Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
