People will no longer sing as they drink wine. Beer will taste bitter to those who drink it.

不復飲酒而歌、飲者以醇醪為苦、

飲酒之時、不再謳歌、以醇醪為甚苦、

不再謳歌飲酒、善飲者以醇醪為苦、

No longer do they drink wine with a song; the beer is bitter to its drinkers.

No more do they drink wine with singing; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

How terrible it will be for those who are heroes at drinking wine! How terrible for those who are heroes at mixing drinks!

Go and enjoy your food. Be joyful as you drink your wine. God has already approved what you do.

Don’t fill yourself up with wine. Getting drunk will lead to wild living. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.

“ The time is coming when the songs in the temple will turn to weeping,” announces the Lord and King.“ Many, many bodies will be thrown everywhere! So be quiet!”

How terrible it will be for those who get up early in the morning to start drinking! How terrible for those who stay up late at night until they are drunk with wine!They have harps and lyres at their banquets. They have tambourines, flutes and wine. But they don’t have any concern for the mighty acts of the Lord. They don’t have any respect for what his power has done.

Those who gather in public places make fun of me. Those who get drunk make up songs about me.

You pluck away on your harps as David did. You play new songs on musical instruments.You drink wine by the bowlful. You use the finest lotions. But Joseph’s people will soon be destroyed. And you aren’t even sad about it.So you will be among the first to be taken away as prisoners. You won’t be able to enjoy good food. You won’t lie around on couches anymore.

I will turn your holy feasts into times for mourning. I will turn all your songs into weeping. You will have to wear the clothing of sadness. You will shave your heads. I will make you mourn as if your only son had died. The end of that time will be like a bitter day.”

How terrible it will be for those who say that what is evil is good! How terrible for those who say that what is good is evil! How terrible for those who say that darkness is light and light is darkness! How terrible for those who say that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter!

The Lord who rules over all will be like a shield to his people. They will destroy their enemies. They’ll use slings to throw stones at them. They’ll drink the blood of their enemies as if it were wine. They’ll be full like the bowl that is used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.
