Isaiah 24:6-7
Isaiah 24:5-13 The Message (MSG)
Earth is polluted by its very own people, who have broken its laws, Disrupted its order, violated the sacred and eternal covenant. Therefore a curse, like a cancer, ravages the earth. Its people pay the price of their sacrilege. They dwindle away, dying out one by one. No more wine, no more vineyards, no more songs or singers. The laughter of castanets is gone, the shouts of celebrants, gone, the laughter of fiddles, gone. No more parties with toasts of champagne. Serious drinkers gag on their drinks. The chaotic cities are unlivable. Anarchy reigns. Every house is boarded up, condemned. People riot in the streets for wine, but the good times are gone forever— no more joy for this old world. The city is dead and deserted, bulldozed into piles of rubble. That’s the way it will be on this earth. This is the fate of all nations: An olive tree shaken clean of its olives, a grapevine picked clean of its grapes.
Isaiah 24:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
Isaiah 24:6-7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. The new wine mourns, The vine decays, All the merry-hearted sigh.
Isaiah 24:6-7 New Century Version (NCV)
So a curse will destroy the earth. The people of the world are guilty, so they will be burned up; only a few will be left. The new wine will be bad, and the grapevines will die. People who were happy will be sad.
Isaiah 24:6-7 American Standard Version (ASV)
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
Isaiah 24:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left. The new wine dries up and the vine withers; all the merrymakers groan.
Isaiah 24:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left. The new wine fails, the vine languishes, All the merry-hearted sigh.
Isaiah 24:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live on it suffer the punishment of their guilt. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned [under the curse of God’s wrath], and few people are left. [Rom 1:20] ¶The new wine mourns, The vine decays; All the merry-hearted sigh and groan.
Isaiah 24:6-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

Isaiah 24:6-7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Therefore a curse devours the earth; its people suffer under their guilt, causing earth’s inhabitants to dwindle, and their number is reduced to so few. The new wine dries up, the vine withers, and all the party-goers groan with disappointment.
