Contextual Overview

1 Beholde, the Lord maketh the earth waste and emptie, he turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitours therof. 2 And the priest shalbe as the people, and the maister as the seruaunt, the mistresse lyke the mayde, the seller lyke the byer, he that lendeth vpon vsurie, like him that boroweth vpon vsurie, the creditour as the dettour. 3 The lande shalbe cleane wasted and vtterly spoyled: for so the Lorde hath spoken. 4 The earth is sory and consumeth away, the worlde is feeble & perisheth, the proude people of the earth are come to naught. 5 The earth also is become vnprofitable vnder the inhabitours therof, which haue transgressed the lawes, chaunged the ordinaunce, broken the euerlastyng couenaunt. 6 Therfore hath the curse consumed the earth, and they that dwell therin are fallen into trespasse: Wherfore the inhabitours of the earth are perished with drought, and fewe men are left behinde. 7 The wine fayleth, the vine hath no myght, all they that haue ben mery of heart are come to mournyng. 8 The myrth of tabrettes is layde downe, the noyse of such as haue made mery is ceassed, the ioy at the harpe is at an ende. 9 They shall drynke no more wine with mirth, strong drynke shalbe bytter to them that drinke it. 10 The citie of vanitie is broken downe, euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The mirth of tabrets ceaseth,.... Or of drums, and such like musical instruments, used at junketings and jovial feasts. So when Babylon is fallen, the voice of harpers and musicians, and of pipers and trumpeters, shall be heard no more therein, Revelation 18:22:

the noise of them that rejoice endeth; the tumultuous noise of revelling persons at feasts and banquets, at marriages, and such like seasons; and so it is said, that when Babylon is destroyed, the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all therein, or the joy expressed on such occasions by their friends and companions,

Revelation 18:23:

the joy of the harp ceaseth; an instrument of music used on joyful occasions; the voice of harpers is particularly mentioned in

Revelation 18:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
