Gone are the joys of wine and song; alcoholic drink turns bitter in the mouth.

人必不得饮酒唱歌；喝浓酒的，必以为苦。

人不再饮酒唱歌，喝烈酒的，必以为苦。

再没有人对酒高歌，浓酒变得苦涩。

他们不再喝酒唱歌；烈酒对饮者也变得苦涩。

人必不得飲酒唱歌；喝濃酒的，必以為苦。

他們不得再飲酒唱歌；喝濃酒的，必覺苦味。

他們不得再又唱歌又喝酒了；喝濃酒的必覺得苦了。

他們不再喝酒唱歌；烈酒對飲者也變得苦澀。

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.

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

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

They no longer sing and drink wine; beer is bitter to those who drink it.

What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold.

So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this!

Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.

In that day the singing in the temple will turn to wailing. Dead bodies will be scattered everywhere. They will be carried out of the city in silence. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

What sorrow for those who get up early in the morning looking for a drink of alcohol and spend long evenings drinking wine to make themselves flaming drunk.They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties— lyre and harp, tambourine and flute— but they never think about the Lord or notice what he is doing.

I am the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks sing about me.

You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David.You drink wine by the bowlful and perfume yourselves with fragrant lotions. You care nothing about the ruin of your nation.Therefore, you will be the first to be led away as captives. Suddenly, all your parties will end.

I will turn your celebrations into times of mourning and your singing into weeping. You will wear funeral clothes and shave your heads to show your sorrow— as if your only son had died. How very bitter that day will be!

What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will protect his people, and they will defeat their enemies by hurling great stones. They will shout in battle as though drunk with wine. They will be filled with blood like a bowl, drenched with blood like the corners of the altar.
