Context of Isaiah 24:10
8The joy of tambourines ceases, The noise of revelers stops, The joy of the harp ceases. 9They do not drink wine with song; Intoxicating drink is bitter to those who drink it. The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up so that no one may enter. 11There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine; All joy turns to gloom. The joy of the earth is banished. 12Desolation is left in the city And the gate is battered to ruins.
