Contextual Overview
1Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, || And is making it desolate, || And has overturned [it on] its face, || And has scattered its inhabitants. 2And it has been—as a people so a priest, || As the servant so his master, || As the maidservant so her mistress, || As the buyer so the seller, || As the lender so the borrower, || As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself. 3The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, || For YHWH has spoken this word: 4The earth has mourned, faded, || The world has languished, faded, || They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.5And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, || Because they have transgressed laws, || They have changed a statute, || They have made void a perpetual covenant. 6Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, || And the inhabitants in it become desolate, || Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, || And few men have been left. 7The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, || All the joyful of heart have sighed. 8The joy of tambourines has ceased, || The noise of exulting ones has ceased, || The joy of a harp has ceased. 9They do not drink wine with a song, || Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it. 10It was broken down—a city of emptiness, || Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The earth mourneth, [and] fadeth away,.... It mourns, because of its inhabitants being destroyed; and it fades away, because stripped of its wealth and riches: so the kings of the earth, and merchants of it are represented as weeping and mourning at the destruction of Rome, because of its judgments, and the loss of its trade and riches, Revelation 18:9:
the world languisheth, [and] fadeth away: the inhabitants of it are like a sick man, that is so faint and feeble that he cannot stand, but totters and falls; and like the leaves of trees and flowers of the fields, whose strength and beauty are gone, and fade and fall:
the haughty people of the earth do languish: the kings and merchants of the earth before mentioned, who grow sick and faint through fear of what is coming upon them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The earth mourneth - The word âearthâ here, as in Isaiah 24:1, means the land of Judea, or that and so much of the adjacent countries as would be subject to the desolation described. The figure here is taken from flowers when they lose their beauty and languish; or when the plant that lacks moisture, or is cut down, loses its vigor and its vitality, and soon withers (compare the note at Isaiah 1:30; Isaiah 34:4; Psalms 1:3).
The world - (ת×× teÌbeÌl). Literally, the inhabitable world, but used here as synonymous with the âland,â and denoting the kingdoms of Judah and Israel (compare the note at Isaiah 13:11)
The haughty people - Margin, as in the Hebrew, âHeight of the people.â It denotes the great, the nobles, the princes of the land. The phrase is expressive of rank, not of their moral character.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 24:4. The world languisheth — The world is the same with the land; that is, the kingdoms of Judah and Israel, orbis Israeliticus. Isaiah 13:11.
