Contextual Overview
1 The Lord is going to twist the earth out of shape and turn it into a desert. Everyone will be scattered, 2 including ordinary people and priests, slaves and slave owners, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, the rich and the poor. 3 The earth will be stripped bare and left that way. This is what the Lord has promised. 4 The earth wilts away; its mighty leaders melt to nothing. 5 The earth is polluted because its people disobeyed the laws of God, breaking their agreement that was to last forever. 6 The earth is under a curse; its people are dying out because of their sins. 7 Grapevines have dried up: wine is almost gone— mournful sounds are heard instead of joyful shouts. 8 No one plays tambourines or stringed instruments; all noisy celebrating has come to an end. 9 They no longer sing as they drink their wine, and it tastes sour. 10 Towns are crushed and in chaos; houses are locked tight.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled,.... Entirely emptied of its inhabitants, and wholly spoiled of its riches and substance; this is repeated, and with greater strength, to confirm what is before said, and which receives a greater confirmation by what follows:
for the Lord hath spoken this word; who is able to perform it, and who is faithful to his threatenings, as to his promises; not a word of his shall ever fail; the judgments threatened to the antichristian world are his true and faithful sayings; and the ruin of Rome is certain, because strong is the Lord that judgeth her, Revelation 18:8.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The land - Hebrew, ‘The earth,’ as in Isaiah 24:1. It is here rendered correctly ‘the land,’ as it should have been there - meaning the land of Canaan.
And spoiled - Its valuable possessions shall become the prey of the invading foe. This is an emphatic repetition of the declaration in Isaiah 24:1, to show the absolute certainty of that which was threatened.
