Context of Isaiah 24:10

8the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it. The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in. 11There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone; 12desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, — a ruin.
