Context of Isaiah 24:7

5The earth is polluted by those who live on it because they’ve disobeyed the Lord’s teachings, violated his laws, and rejected the everlasting promise. 6That is why a curse devours the earth, and its people are punished for their guilt. That is why those who live on the earth are burned up, and only a few people are left. New wine dries up, and grapevines waste away. All happy people groan. 8Joyful tambourine music stops. Noisy celebrations cease. Joyful harp music stops. 9People no longer drink wine when they sing. Liquor tastes bad to its drinkers.
