8 The joyful timbrels are stilled,

the noise of the revelers has stopped,

the joyful harp is silent.

9 No longer do they drink wine with a song;

the beer is bitter to its drinkers.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, The joy of the harp ceaseth. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; Strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

8 The cheerful sound of tambourines is stilled;

the happy cries of celebration are heard no more.

The melodious chords of the harp are silent.

9 Gone are the joys of wine and song;

alcoholic drink turns bitter in the mouth.

8 The mirth of the tambourine ceases,

The noise of the jubilant ends,

The joy of the harp ceases.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song;

Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

8 The happy music of the tambourines will end.

The happy sounds of wild parties will stop.

The joyful music from the harps will end.

9 People will no longer sing while they drink their wine.

The beer will taste bitter to those who drink it.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

8 the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9 They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.

8 Joyful tambourine music stops. 

Noisy celebrations cease. 

Joyful harp music stops. 

9 People no longer drink wine when they sing. 

Liquor tastes bad to its drinkers. 

8 The joyful tambourines have ceased.

The noise of the jubilant has stopped.

The joyful lyre has ceased.

9 They no longer sing and drink wine;

beer is bitter to those who drink it.

8 The mirth of the timbrels is stilled,

the noise of the jubilant has ceased,

the mirth of the lyre is stilled.

9 No longer do they drink wine with singing;

strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

8 the joy of the tambourine has stopped.

The noise of the jubilant has ceased;

the joy of the lyre has stopped.

9 They do not drink wine with song;

strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

8 The happy sounds of tambourines will be gone.

The noise of those who enjoy wild parties will stop.

The joyful music of harps will become silent.

9 People will no longer sing as they drink wine.

Beer will taste bitter to those who drink it.

8 The gaiety of tambourines ceases,

The noise of revelers stops,

The gaiety of the harp ceases.

9 They do not drink wine with song;

Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
