Contextual Overview
1Behold, the LORD lays waste to the earth, devastates it, twists and distorts its face and scatters its inhabitants. 2And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor [as God's impartial judgment of sin comes on all]. 3The earth will be completely laid waste and utterly pillaged, for the LORD has spoken this word. 4The earth dries up and crumbles away, the world dries out and crumbles away, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. 5The earth also is polluted by its inhabitants, because they have transgressed laws, violated statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant. 6Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live on it suffer the punishment of their guilt. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned [under the curse of God's wrath], and few people are left. 7The new wine mourns, The vine decays; All the merry-hearted sigh and groan. 8The mirth of the timbrels (tambourines) ceases, The noise of those who rejoice ends, The joy of the harp ceases. 9They do not drink wine with a song; Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. 10The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up so that no one may enter.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the city is left desolation,.... And nothing else, palaces, houses, and temples burnt, and inhabitants destroyed; none but devils, foul spirits, and hateful and unclean birds, inhabiting it,
Revelation 18:2:
and the gate is smitten with destruction; or "gates", the singular for the plural; none passing and repassing through them, as formerly, and themselves utterly destroyed. This, according to Kimchi, shall be in the days of the Messiah, in the times of Gog and Magog.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And the gate is smitten with destruction - The word rendered âdestructionâ may denote âa crashâ (Gesenius). The idea is, that the gates of the city, once so secure, are how battered down and demolished, so that the enemy ran enter freely. Thus far is a description of the calamities that would come upon the nation. The following verses show that, though the desolation would be general, a few of the inhabitants would be left - circumstance thrown in to mitigate the prospect. of the impending ruin.
