Context of Isaiah 24:7

5The people who live on the earth have caused it to become unclean. They have not obeyed God's laws. They have turned against his teaching. They have not obeyed the covenant that God made with them for ever. 6That is why a curse is destroying the land. The people who live on it are guilty and God is punishing them. They become fewer and fewer. Only a very few of them remain. There is no new wine and the vines are dying. The people who were happy to drink the wine are now sad. 8The happy sound of tambourines has stopped. The noise from parties has finished. The harps no longer make any happy music. 9People cannot drink wine, so they do not sing. When people drink beer, it seems bitter.
