Isaiah 24:6

6 So God has pronounced a curse on the earth. Its people are paying for what they have done. Fewer and fewer remain alive.

Isaiah 24:6 In-Context

4 The earth dries up and withers; the whole world grows weak; both earth and sky decay.
5 The people have defiled the earth by breaking God's laws and by violating the covenant he made to last forever.
6 So God has pronounced a curse on the earth. Its people are paying for what they have done. Fewer and fewer remain alive.
7 The grapevines wither, and wine is becoming scarce. Everyone who was once happy is now sad,
8 and the joyful music of their harps and drums has ceased.
