Context of Isaiah 24:13

11People 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. That 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. 14They raise their voices. They shout for joy. From the sea they sing joyfully about the Lord’s majesty. 15Honor the Lord in the east. Honor the name of the Lord God of Israel along the coastlands.
