Context of Isaiah 24:13

11In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land. 12The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble. So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest. 14They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD. 15Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
