Isaiah 24:9 Context
7The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merrie hearted doe sigh. 8The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that reioyce, endeth, the ioy of the harpe ceaseth. 9They shall not drinke wine with a song, strong drinke shall bee bitter to them that drinke it. 10The city of confusion is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in. 11There is a crying for wine in the streets, all ioy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
