'Gaiety' in the Bible

Instead, there is gaiety and gladness,Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,Eating of meat and drinking of wine:“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

The gaiety of tambourines ceases,The noise of revelers stops,The gaiety of the harp ceases.

There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine;All joy turns to gloom.The gaiety of the earth is banished.

“I will also put an end to all her gaiety,Her feasts, her new moons, her sabbathsAnd all her festal assemblies.
