- "Behold,¹ I will sendª° and takeª°¹ all¹ the familiesª of the north,ª saithª° the LORD,ª and Nebuchadrezzarª the kingª of Babylon,ª my servant,ª and will bringª° them against¹ this¹ land,ª and against¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof, and against¹ all¹ these¹ nationsª round about,ª and will utterly destroyª° them, and makeª° them an astonishment,ª and an hissing,ª and perpetualª desolations.ª ... Moreover I will takeª° from¹ them the voiceª of mirth,ª and the voiceª of gladness,ª the voiceª of the bridegroom,ª and the voiceª of the bride,ª the soundª of the millstones,ª and the lightª of the candle.ª" {Jer 25:9-10} + "Thou hast multipliedª° the nation,ª [and] not¹ increasedª° the joy:ª they joyª° beforeª thee according to the joyª in harvest,ª [and] as¹ [men] rejoiceª° when they divideª° the spoil.ª" {Isa 9:3} + "Therefore¹¹ I will bewailª° with the weepingª of Jazerª the vineª of Sibmah:ª I will waterª° thee with my tears,ª O Heshbon,ª and Elealeh:ª for¹ the shoutingª for¹ thy summer fruitsª and for¹ thy harvestª is fallen.ª°" {Isa 16:9} + "The new wineª mourneth,ª° the vineª languisheth,ª° all¹ the merryheartedªª do sigh.ª° ... In the cityª is leftª° desolation,ª and the gateª is smittenª° with destruction.ª" {Isa 24:7-12} + "Rise up,ª° ye womenª that are at ease;ª hearª° my voice,ª ye carelessª° daughters;ª give earª° unto my speech.ª ... Because¹ the palacesª shall be forsaken;ª° the multitudeª of the cityª shall be left;ª° the fortsª and towersª shall be¹ for¹ densª for² ever,ª¹ a joyª of wild asses,ª a pastureª of flocks;ª" {Isa 32:9-14} + "The vineª is dried up,ª° and the fig treeª languisheth;ª° the pomegranate² tree,¹ the palm treeª also,¹ and the apple tree,ª [even] all¹ the treesª of the field,ª are withered:ª° because¹ joyª is withered awayª° from¹ the sonsª of men.ª" {Jol 1:12} + "Is not¹ the meatª cut offª° before¹ our eyes,ª [yea], joyª and gladnessª from the houseª¹ of our God?ª" {Jol 1:16} + "Andª the voiceª of harpers,ª andª musicians,ª andª of pipers,ª andª trumpeters,ª shall be heardª° no more² at allª¹ inª thee;ª and² noª² craftsman,ª of whatsoeverª craftª [he be], shall be foundª° any moreª¹ inª thee;ª andª the soundª of a millstoneª shall be heardª° no more² at allª¹ inª thee;ª ... Andª the lightª of a candleª shall shineª° no more² at allª¹ inª thee;ª andª the voiceª of the bridegroomª andª of the brideª shall be heardª° no more² at allª¹ inª thee:ª forª thyª merchantsª wereª° the¹ great menª of the¹ earth;ª forª byª thyª sorceriesª were²° allª nationsª deceived.ª°" {Rev 18:22-23}
