In the streets they cry out for wine; all joy turns to gloom, all joyful sounds are banished from the earth.
In the streets they cry out
Psalm 144:14b There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets.
for wine
Lamentations 2:12 They say to their mothers, "Where is bread and wine?" as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away in their mother's arms.
all joy turns to gloom, all joyful sounds are banished from the earth
Isaiah 15:6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone and nothing green is left.
Isaiah 16:10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards; no one treads out wine at the presses, for I have put an end to the shouting.
Isaiah 32:12-15 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines and for the land of my people, a land overgrown with thorns and briars--yes, mourn for all the houses of merriment and for this city of revelry. The fortress will be abandoned, the noisy city deserted; citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever, the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks, till the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest.
Jeremiah 14:3 "The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns but find no water. They return with their jars unfilled; dismayed and despairing, they cover their heads."
