Ésaïe 24:9

9 On ne boit plus de vin en chantant; Les liqueurs fortes sont amères au buveur.

Ésaïe 24:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:9

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 Amos 6:6 ) : 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 ) .

Ésaïe 24:9 In-Context

7 Le moût est triste, la vigne est flétrie; Tous ceux qui avaient le coeur joyeux soupirent.
8 La joie des tambourins a cessé, la gaîté bruyante a pris fin, La joie de la harpe a cessé.
9 On ne boit plus de vin en chantant; Les liqueurs fortes sont amères au buveur.
10 La ville déserte est en ruines; Toutes les maisons sont fermées, on n'y entre plus.
11 On crie dans les rues, parce que le vin manque; Toute réjouissance a disparu, L'allégresse est bannie du pays.
