The doleful judgments of God upon the land13. A remnant shall joyfully praise him 16. God in his judgments shall advance his kingdom In the streets they cry out for wine. This phrase captures the desperation and desolation of a people who have lost their source of joy and celebration. Wine, in biblical times, was often associated with joy, festivity, and abundance (Psalm 104:15). The streets, typically places of commerce and social interaction, are now filled with cries of lamentation. This imagery reflects the judgment and devastation prophesied by Isaiah, where the normalcy of life is disrupted. The absence of wine symbolizes a deeper spiritual barrenness and the removal of God's blessings. This can be connected to the broader theme of divine judgment found in Isaiah, where the consequences of sin lead to a loss of joy and prosperity. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land. Persons / Places / Events 1. IsaiahThe prophet who authored the book, delivering messages of judgment and hope from God to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 2. The Streets Symbolic of public life and society, where the effects of God's judgment are visibly felt. 3. Wine Represents joy and celebration, which are absent due to the judgment. 4. Joy and Rejoicing Emotions and states of being that are notably absent, indicating a time of distress and divine judgment. 5. The Land Refers to the nation of Israel, experiencing the consequences of turning away from God. Teaching Points The Consequences of SinSin leads to a loss of joy and celebration. When a society turns away from God, the natural result is spiritual and often physical desolation. The Importance of Repentance The absence of joy should lead us to examine our lives and repent. God desires to restore joy, but it requires turning back to Him. The Role of Community in Spiritual Health The cry in the streets signifies a communal experience of loss. As believers, we should support one another in maintaining spiritual vitality. Hope Beyond Judgment While judgment is severe, it is not the end. God's ultimate plan includes restoration and redemption for those who turn to Him. The Temporary Nature of Earthly Joy Earthly pleasures are fleeting and can be taken away. True joy is found in a relationship with God, which remains steadfast even in times of trial.(11) There is a crying for wine in the streets.--Literally, because of wine in the fields. The Hebrew noun for the latter word hovers between the meaning of an open place within and one without a city. The context seems in favour of the latter sense. Men weep in the fields because there is no vintage. All joy is darkened.--The English verb exactly expresses the force of the Hebrew, which is used, as in Judges 19:9, of the gloom of sunset. (Comp. Micah 3:6.) The light of joy had passed into the blackness of darkness. Verse 11. - There is a crying for wine in the streets. Wine, though still manufactured (see vers. 7, 9) is scarce, but is much sought after. Men clamor for it at the doors of the wine-shops, but are unable to obtain it. They crave for its exhilarating effects, or perhaps for the oblivion which it brings when drunk to excess. If they could obtain it, they would act as the Jews in the siege of Jerusalem (Isaiah 22:13). But they cannot. Hence even the factitious merriment, which wine is capable of producing, is denied now to the inhabitants of the earth, with whom all joy is darkened, from whom all mirth is gone.Parallel Commentaries ...
