Gill's Notes on the Bible
They shall not drink wine with a song,.... They that have wine to drink shall not drink it with that pleasure they have heretofore done; nor shall their drinking be attended with merry songs, such as are sung by drunkards, who, while they are quaffing, are chanting to the sound of the viol, or other musical instruments; see Amos 6:5:
strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it; they shall have no gust for it, or relish of it, as they formerly had; either through bodily diseases upon themselves, or because of the calamities upon the nations and states in which they dwell: this will be the case of her that says, "I sit a queen, and shall see no sorrow", Revelation 18:7.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
drink wine with a song - That is, accompanied with a song, as the usual mode was in their feasts.
Strong drink - On the word שׁכר shêkār see the note at Isaiah 5:11.
Shall be bitter ... - They shall cease to find pleasure in it in consequence of the general calamitics that have come upon the nation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 24:9. Strong drink - "Palm wine"] This is the proper meaning of the word shechar, σικερα. Isaiah 5:11. All enjoyment shall cease: the sweetest wine shall become bitter to their taste.
