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 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.
