A Land in Mourning
Commentators explain that Isaiah uses powerful poetic language, personifying the wine as "mourning" and the vine as "languishing." This isn't just about a bad harvest; it's a picture of total desolation where the very sources of joy seem to grieve because there is no one left to enjoy them. All of nature is depicted as sympathizing with the calamity.
