Context of Isaiah 24:8

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. 7There is no new wine and the vines are dying. The people who were happy to drink the wine are now sad. The 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. 10The city has become so spoiled that it is useless. People have locked their houses so that nobody can go in.
