Context of Isaiah 24:11

9They no longer sing and drink wine; the beer tastes bitter to those who drink it. 10The ruined town is shattered; all of the houses are shut up tight. They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine; all joy turns to sorrow; celebrations disappear from the earth. 12The city is left in ruins; the gate is reduced to rubble. 13This is what will happen throughout the earth, among the nations. It will be like when they beat an olive tree, and just a few olives are left at the end of the harvest.
