Hosea 9:1-5
Do not rejoice, Israel, with jubilation like the nations! For you have been unfaithful, abandoning your God. You have loved the earnings of unfaithfulness on every threshing floor.Threshing floor and wine press will not feed them, And the new wine will fail them.They will not remain in the Lord’s land, But Ephraim will return to Egypt, And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the Lord, Nor will their sacrifices please Him. Their bread will be to them like mourners’ bread; All who eat it will be defiled, Because their bread will be for themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the Lord.What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the feast of the Lord?

And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

Isaiah 24:7-11
The new wine mourns, The vine decays, All the joyful hearted sigh.The joy of tambourines ceases, The noise of revelers stops, The joy of the harp ceases.They do not drink wine with song; Intoxicating drink is bitter to those who drink it.The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up so that no one may enter.There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine; All joy turns to gloom. The joy of the earth is banished.
