There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
God's cleansing judgment brings desolation upon the land. In the streets there is a crying for wine, while all joy is darkened and the merriment of the land has vanished. This loss of joy comes as a curse resting upon the land. The land is defiled under its inhabitants because they have transgressed God's laws and broken His covenant.
