The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.

Isaiah 24:8 · BSB

Isaiah 24:8 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 24.

4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.

5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.

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.
