24:7 The new wine dries up,
the vines shrivel up,
all those who like to celebrate 1 groan.
24:8 The happy sound 2 of the tambourines stops,
the revelry of those who celebrate comes to a halt,
the happy sound of the harp ceases.
[24:7] 1 tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “all the joyful in heart,” but the context specifies the context as parties and drinking bouts.
[24:8] 2 tn Heb “the joy” (again later in this verse).
