Isaiah 24:7

“The new wine mourneth, &c.] For want men to drink it, or because spilled by the enemy; or the inhabitants of the land mourn for want of it, not having their vintages as usual: the vine languisheth; or is sickly, and so barren and unfruitful, does not bring forth its clusters of grapes as it used to do; there being none to prune it, and take care of it, and being trodden down by hostile forces. The Targum is, “all that drink wine shall mourn, because the vines are broken down.” So the Romish harlot, and those that have drank of the wine of her fornication, and have lived deliciously, shall have, in one hour, death, and mourning, and famine, (<661807>Revelation 18:7,8): all the merryhearted do…”

The vine languisheth - It is sickly and unfruitful, because there are none to cultivate it as formerly. The idea is, that all nature sympathizes in the general calamity. All the merry-hearted - Probably the reference is mainly to…”

“Mourneth - Because there are none to drink it. Grief is ascribed to senseless creatures by a figure usual in all authors. Languisheth - Because there are no people left to dress it, or gather its grapes. The merry - hearted - That made their hearts merry with wine. Isaiah 24:8”

“24:7 Merrymakers will sigh and mourn because they are dependent on wine for pleasure.”
