Context of Isaiah 24:11

9People no longer drink wine when they sing. Liquor tastes bad to its drinkers. 10The ruined city lies desolate. The entrance to every house is barred shut. People in the streets call for wine. All joy passes away, and the earth’s happiness is banished. 12The city is left in ruins. Its gate is battered to pieces. 13That is the way it will be on earth among the nations. They will be like an olive tree which has been shaken or like what’s left after the grape harvest.
