Contextual Overview
1 The Lord is going to twist the earth out of shape and turn it into a desert. Everyone will be scattered, 2 including ordinary people and priests, slaves and slave owners, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, the rich and the poor. 3 The earth will be stripped bare and left that way. This is what the Lord has promised. 4 The earth wilts away; its mighty leaders melt to nothing. 5 The earth is polluted because its people disobeyed the laws of God, breaking their agreement that was to last forever. 6 The earth is under a curse; its people are dying out because of their sins. 7 Grapevines have dried up: wine is almost gone— mournful sounds are heard instead of joyful shouts. 8 No one plays tambourines or stringed instruments; all noisy celebrating has come to an end. 9 They no longer sing as they drink their wine, and it tastes sour. 10 Towns are crushed and in chaos; houses are locked tight.

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 ‘destruction’ may denote ‘a crash’ (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.
